William -

     I believe there are some "magic bits" missing from your post, and my
response will outline my assumption,
please clarify if my assumption is incorrect.

(Assumption) You are using bjam and have created your own Jamfile.v2 or
Jamroot for compilation of your library.
- If this is the case then you will likely want to perform the following:

##### Begin Jam Cut
use-project /boost : $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

lib yourlib : [ glob src/*.cpp ]        # just an assumption you can
explicitly specify.
                //boost/boost_python
              : <link>shared
              ;

alias install : install-lib ; #  you could also add install-bin if you chose
to do so

install install-lib : yourlib
                       : <install-dependencies>on
                         <install-type>SHARED_LIB
                         <location>$(YOUR_INSTALL_LOC)
                       ;

explicit install install-lib ; # you could also add install-bin

#### End Jam Cut

to call the target: bjam install

In general you will want to consult:
