-The Boost build system defines many different [wiki:CMakeBuildFeatures build features], which describe specific properties of certain builds. For example, the `SHARED` feature indicates that we are building a shared library, while the `MULTI_THREADED` feature indicates that we are building a multi-threaded library. A specific set of features is called a ```variant```, e.g., `RELEASE` and `MULTI_THREADED` and `SHARED`.

A specific set of features is called a ```variant```, e.g., `RELEASE` and `MULTI_THREADED` and `SHARED`. By default, the CMake-based build system builds several different variants of each Boost library.
 
+Since some features conflict with certain libraries (a threading library cannot be `SINGLE_THREADED`!), one can pass additional flags to [wiki:CMakeAddLibrary boost_add_library] stating which features should the library cannot be built with.  For example, say that our library cannot be built as a multi-threaded library, because it uses thread-unsafe routines from the underlying C library. To disable multi-threaded variants of the library, pass the option `NOT_MULTI_THREADED`:
