How to build boost library (program options) without using bjam

Question

I need to build boost program options static library in both PC/Mac. It has only 11 cpp source code, so I expect to compile it by g++ SOURCE_CODE, but I got an error something like utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp:15:47: error: ../../detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp: No such file or directory.

How to build boost library (program options) without using bjam? Is there a way to see what compiler options/commands bjam uses for both Mac/PC?

Answer 1

bjam -n will print the commands instead of executing them. bjam -d 2 will print the commands as they are executed.
