building with --without-context doesn't actually work

[Mike Frysinger <vapier@…>]

apparently you also need to pass --without-coroutine, but the output from the build does not say that at all:

Component configuration:

    - atomic                   : building
    - chrono                   : building
    - context                  : not building
    - coroutine                : building
...

it probably should state something like "building (for couroutine), but not installing headers". or abort. or disable coroutine too. something.

bjam --without-context --without-coroutine should not build boost.context nor boost.coroutine - if the libraries are still build then this is an issue of boost build system

[Vladimir Prus]

FWIW, this is a bit complicated to explain exactly which library is build due to what dependencies to be intuitive in all cases, and it's not a very big issue, so I probably won't get to this in near future.

boost.coroutine depends on boost.context

[smr@…]

I attempted to build Boost 1.60, using both --without-context and --without-coroutine. It turns out to build Boost.Context anyway.

Workaround: also use --without-coroutine2.

This is still an issue as of 1.63
