Re: [Boost-users] help needed building boost_1_34 with v2

Here's what I've since found that seems to work.

1. set up a user-config.jam file in my home directory.
2. add a gcc toolset entry which looks like:

using gcc : : /usr/local/gcc-4.1.1/bin/g++ : <linkflags>"-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/gcc-4.1.1/lib" ;

3. add a python entry which looks like:

using python : 2.4 : /usr/local/python-2.4.4_gcc-4.1.1 ;

then, I can issue the following command:

bjam -a --without-wave  --without-test --prefix=/usr/local/boost-1.34.0_gcc-4.1.1 
--includedir=/usr/local/boost-1.34.0_gcc-4.1.1 --toolset=gcc   stage

This seems to work -- it is using the compiler I want it to and the shared libraries are pointing to the compiler's 
runtime libraries.  The build is still running so I don't know if the code will run but it looks correct so far....
