I was a bit miffed by your outraged response to my explanatory reply. I thought I was being helpful and instead I got "when did you stop beating your wife?" questions like #2 and #3 below. How is anyone supposed to answer those? > All I asked was how to set the multithreaded option. That question wasn't clear from your posting. As far as I could tell you were asking how to "just run bjam with no options and get the libs built with thread support". Maybe if you applied a little less heat it would be easier to help you. Sarcastic rhetoric may have hurt the comprehensibility of your request. http://www.boost.org/tools/build/build_system.htm documents how to set the build request on the command-line, and you can in fact find a mention of <threading>multi in there if you dig hard enough. > I looked in the documentation and couldn't find it.
