After some digging in the jam files adding headers as target solved the
problem. Is this something new?

Hi,

I am trying to use github boost to obtain a subset of the libraries.

I found that using the following subset of modules allows me to build
boost_system.

    git submodule update --init tools/build     || exit 1
    git submodule update --init tools/inspect   || exit 1
    git submodule update --init libs/assert     || exit 1
    git submodule update --init libs/config     || exit 1
    git submodule update --init libs/core       || exit 1
    git submodule update --init libs/predef     || exit 1
    git submodule update --init libs/system     || exit 1
    git submodule update --init libs/utility    || exit 1

The problem is that ./b2 ... install does not copy the header files. Is
this a bug that I am hitting?

My commands are:

    ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=../../boost --includedir=../../boost/include ||
exit 1

    PATH=$CLANGBIN:$PATH \
        ./b2 \
        toolset=clang \
        cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++
-isystem/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/usr/include" \
        linkflags="-stdlib=libc++" \
        install threading=multi link=static

Thanks,
