custom bcp build failed due to feature "<segmented-stacks>"

[anonymous]

I'm used to create a subset of boost through bcp, with the following command:

$ ./bin.v2/tools/bcp/gcc-4.8/release/link-static/bcp --namespace=myboost --namespace-alias chrono date_time regex system thread asio smart_ptr bind config build ../myboost/

and now I get the following output:

then from myboost directory, building my subset

cd ../myboost
./bootstrap.sh
./b2

but with version 1.58 I get the following error:

seems like bcp isn't able to track down all dependencies

Is there any update to this? I am also hitting a similar issue.

[John Maddock]

A temporary workaround is to add "context" to the list of libraries to copy - bcp is unable to trace the dependencies through context's assembly files.

I'll try and get this fixed for the next release.
