• Boost uses bjam for building the boost libs.

  bjam source is available in boost, hence we first need to build bjam itself:

   

  Code Block
  language bash
  cd $BOOST_ROOT ./bootstrap.sh

• For python3

  Code Block
  ./bootstrap.sh --with-python=/path/to/python3

  You may need to update $BOOST_ROOT/project-config.jam, with path to executable and path to include files. Note: remember to preserve the spaces, as they are significant. i.e.

  Code Block
  # using python # : # version # : # cmd-or-prefix # : # includes # : # libraries # : # condition # ; using python : 3.5 : python3 : /usr/local/apps/python3/3.5.1-01/include/python3.5m ;

• Ecflow uses some of compiled libraries in boost. The following script will build the required lib’s, in both debug and release forms and will configure boost build according to your platform.
• If you do not require the ecflow python api, you can avoid build boost python libs by setting.        export
    

   

  Code Block
  language bash title Disable boost python
  export ECF_NO_PYTHON=1

   

  before calling $WK/build_scripts/boost_build.sh
  You will also need to disable python when building ecflow.  See the instruction under cmake
   

   

  Code Block
  language bash title Build the boost libraries used by ecflow
  cd $BOOST_ROOT $WK/build_scripts/boost_1_53_fix.sh # fix for boost, only for some platforms $WK/build_scripts/boost_build.sh # compile boost libs used by ecFlow
