Building just one library

[Sebastian Pfützner]

Hello,

I want to build a specific variant of a specific library and nothing
else. If I run

bjam --toolset=msvc --with-filesystem runtime-link=shared link=static
threading=multi address-model=64 debug stage

there are two identical files in the stage directory, one with and one
without the boost version at the end. How can I prevent the creation of
the file without the version number?

And another question: Is there a list of all possible options to bjam
building boost? I mean options like runtime-link or address-model. I
didn't find any docs describing these parameters.

thanks in advance

You cant :-\ About the best you can do is delete the file you don't need.

Hm, no easily available docs on those at the moment. The best I can
point to is the source file where those are defined
<http://tinyurl.com/23nxoa>. Which has a considerable set of comments...
It would be all the "feature" declarations. One warning though, how well
the features are supported depends on each toolset.
