cannot build boost process using bjam

Question

I have trouble compiling boost process library using bjam. I downloaded the newest version (0.5) and copied the headers and lib folders to boost main directory. Then I called bootstrap, and "bjam --with-process" but I get an error complaining that the library process is not found.

bjam --with-process error: wrong library name 'process' in the --with- option.

Answer 1

This library is header-only. You don't need to build it - just #include the appropriate headers.
