Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply. The second command that I listed builds the boost bcp
tool:

b2 tools/bcpCopy

Also, here are the docs on that tool -
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/tools/bcp/doc/html/index.html

I don't know how it works well enough to dig through why it is including
program_options and missing some of its targets. I'm assuming this is
picked up by an include somewhere. I could dig through the html report, but
I am not too concerned about program_options getting included, as much as I
am with it failing to build.

*So, I guess the real question is why the progarm_option's export libs
appear to be in the copy for the stage target, but not built. Any guidance
would be great.*

This is all that I see in the libs/program_options/build/Jamfile.v2

project boost/program_options
    : source-location ../src
    ;

SOURCES =
    cmdline config_file options_description parsers variables_map
    value_semantic positional_options utf8_codecvt_facet
    convert winmain split
    ;

boost-lib program_options
    : $(SOURCES).cpp
    : # See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5049
      <target-os>hpux,<toolset>gcc:<define>_INCLUDE_STDC__SOURCE_199901
    ;

It seems fairly simple and straight forward. What am I missing about the
boost-lib rule?

Regards,
Kevin

P.S. The whole purpose of this process is to ensure that we are only
building the subset of boost modules that we require, and to namespace,
rename, etc. the boost libraries. So, I am stuck with making this process
continue to work for us, unless there is a feasible workaround to achieving
those goals.
