USE flags

  • abi_mips_n32 - 64-bit (32-bit pointer) libraries
  • abi_mips_n64 - 64-bit libraries
  • abi_mips_o32 - 32-bit libraries
  • abi_s390_32 - 32-bit (s390) libraries
  • abi_s390_64 - 64-bit (s390x) libraries
  • abi_x86_32 - 32-bit (x86) libraries
  • abi_x86_64 - 64-bit (amd64) libraries
  • abi_x86_x32 - x32 ABI libraries
  • bzip2 - Use the bzlib compression library
  • context - Build and install the Boost.Context (and Boost.Fiber) library and all other Boost libraries that depend on it
  • debug - Build and install only the debug version of the Boost libraries. Only enable this flag if you're developing against boost.
  • doc - Install the full API documentation documentation. This takes over 200MB of extra disk space.
  • icu - Enable ICU (Internationalization Components for Unicode) support, using dev-libs/icu
  • lzma - Support for LZMA (de)compression algorithm
  • mpi - Add MPI (Message Passing Interface) layer to the apps that support it
  • nls - Build libboost_locale. This library requires compatible C library interfaces, which might not be provided by uClibc or other embedded libraries.
  • numpy - Optionally build NumPy extensions when Boost.Python is enabled
  • python - Add optional support/bindings for the Python language
  • python_targets_python3_10 - Build with Python 3.10
  • python_targets_python3_11 - Build with Python 3.11
  • python_targets_python3_12 - Build with Python 3.12
  • python_targets_python3_9 - Build with Python 3.9
  • stacktrace - Build the full Boost.Stacktrace dynamic library instead of relying on the header-only implementation
  • tools - Build and install the boost tools (bcp, quickbook, inspect, wave)
  • zlib - Add support for zlib (de)compression
  • zstd - Enable support for ZSTD compression
