I would like to build boost-1.57 with head of STLport 5.2 branch. Earlier boost versions had user-config.jam file where I could point the STLport version and location, but I cannot find such possibility in boost-1.57. It seems that boost-1.57 searches stlport in some default system locations, but I want to build STLport and boost in the scope of my account. Any ideas how to do it without cracking boost-1.57 build system?

You can create the user-config.jam file in your home directory.

You can see how boost checks for configuration files here.

After that you should follow the guidelines from this answer to build with STLport, with some minor modifications for Linux.

  • To be honest I tried user-config.jam in boost directory (according to [this manual](http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html)), not my home directory, and it seemed it didn't work. OK, I will try your way. Thanks. – Bogdan Dec 22 '14 at 16:37
  • You are right, it works in home directory. I really appreciate boost but the documentation in such cases just pisses me off. – Bogdan Dec 23 '14 at 10:53
