Pass build options to boost

[GreenFuze]

Hey,

I need to build boost with a different libc, there is an option to do that using b2, but how can I pass these options using hunter_config?

Thanks

Notice, it is true not just to boost, but any library hunter builds. I know we can pass CMAKE args, but not everything is built via CMake (or is it in case of hunter?!)

For CMake packages built by hunter you'd use CMakeToolchain files to modify your build

For Boost there are some cmake variables, which are passed to b2, but I don't know if libc is one of them. Maybe the documentation for the Boost package already has the right flag documented
https://hunter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages/pkg/Boost.html

hope it helps

Thank you, I am just trying to understand if there's a way to pass special flags directly to b2 using hunter?
