So maybe you can first say which libraries you intend to use?  Many of the
libraries are header-only, so for those you don't need to even take this step
-- just include the headers in your source and go.  That would just circumvent
the whole issue.  Second, if you only needed on built library (say
boost.filesystem) you could just build that one and ignore the rest.  You can
do this by changing directory to BOOST_TOP/libs/<libname>/build and running
bjam.  Or you can run bjam --without-<library>

Without more context I think it will be hard for us to help you track the
errors down -- for example, which file is being compiled, etc...

There's some docs on the build system at:

http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/build_system.htm

I'm afraid someone else will have to give you detailed advice on the build
system however...
