boost大部分库仅仅须要包括头文件就可以使用，而有部分须要编译的。例如以下：

E:\Qt\Qt3rdlib\boost_1_58_0>bjam --show-libraries

The following libraries require building:

    - atomic

    - chrono

    - container

    - context

    - coroutine

    - date_time

    - exception

    - filesystem

    - graph

    - graph_parallel

    - iostreams

    - locale

    - log

    - math

    - mpi

    - program_options

    - python

    - random

    - regex

    - serialization

    - signals

    - system

    - test

    - thread

Project-specific help:

  Project has jamfile at Jamroot

Usage:

  b2 [options] [properties] [install|stage]

  Builds and installs Boost.

Targets and Related Options:

  install                 Install headers and compiled library files to the

  =======                 configured locations (below).

  --prefix=<PREFIX>       Install architecture independent files here.

                          Default; C:\Boost on Win32

                          Default; /usr/local on Unix. Linux, etc.

  --exec-prefix=<EPREFIX> Install architecture dependent files here.

                          Default; <PREFIX>

  --libdir=<DIR>          Install library files here.

                          Default; <EPREFIX>/lib

  --includedir=<HDRDIR>   Install header files here.

                          Default; <PREFIX>/include

  stage                   Build and install only compiled library files to the

  =====                   stage directory.

  --stagedir=<STAGEDIR>   Install library files here

                          Default; ./stage

Other Options:

  --build-type=<type>     Build the specified pre-defined set of variations of

                          the libraries. Note, that which variants get built

                          depends on what each library supports.

                              -- minimal -- (default) Builds a minimal set of

                              variants. On Windows, these are static

                              multithreaded libraries in debug and release

                              modes, using shared runtime. On Linux, these are

                              static and shared multithreaded libraries in

                              release mode.

                              -- complete -- Build all possible variations.

  --build-dir=DIR         Build in this location instead of building within

                          the distribution tree. Recommended!

  --show-libraries        Display the list of Boost libraries that require

                          build and installation steps, and then exit.

  --layout=<layout>       Determine whether to choose library names and header

                          locations such that multiple versions of Boost or

                          multiple compilers can be used on the same system.

                              -- versioned -- Names of boost binaries include

                              the Boost version number, name and version of

                              the compiler and encoded build properties. Boost

                              headers are installed in a subdirectory of

                              <HDRDIR> whose name contains the Boost version

                              number.

                              -- tagged -- Names of boost binaries include the

                              encoded build properties such as variant and

                              threading, but do not including compiler name

                              and version, or Boost version. This option is

                              useful if you build several variants of Boost,

                              using the same compiler.

                              -- system -- Binaries names do not include the

                              Boost version number or the name and version

                              number of the compiler. Boost headers are

                              installed directly into <HDRDIR>. This option is

                              intended for system integrators building

                              distribution packages.

                          The default value is 'versioned' on Windows, and

                          'system' on Unix.

  --buildid=ID            Add the specified ID to the name of built libraries.

                          The default is to not add anything.

  --python-buildid=ID     Add the specified ID to the name of built libraries

                          that depend on Python. The default is to not add

                          anything. This ID is added in addition to --buildid.

  --help                  This message.

  --with-<library>        Build and install the specified <library>. If this

                          option is used, only libraries specified using this

                          option will be built.

  --without-<library>     Do not build, stage, or install the specified

                          <library>. By default, all libraries are built.

Properties:

  toolset=toolset         Indicate the toolset to build with.

  variant=debug|release   Select the build variant

  link=static|shared      Whether to build static or shared libraries

  threading=single|multi  Whether to build single or multithreaded binaries

  runtime-link=static|shared

                          Whether to link to static or shared C and C++

                          runtime.

General command line usage:

    b2 [options] [properties] [targets]

  Options, properties and targets can be specified in any order.

Important Options:

  * --clean Remove targets instead of building

  * -a Rebuild everything

  * -n Don't execute the commands, only print them

  * -d+2 Show commands as they are executed

  * -d0 Suppress all informational messages

  * -q Stop at first error

  * --reconfigure Rerun all configuration checks

  * --debug-configuration Diagnose configuration

  * --debug-building Report which targets are built with what properties

  * --debug-generator Diagnose generator search/execution

Further Help:

  The following options can be used to obtain additional documentation.

  * --help-options Print more obscure command line options.

  * --help-internal Boost.Build implementation details.

  * --help-doc-options Implementation details doc formatting.
