[C++-sig] building boost with custom python 3.5 installation

[Frederich, Eric]

Not sure if it is the right thing to do, but when I have a custom build of Python 3.5 I have to go into the installation dir and create a symlink in the include directory from python3.5m to python3.5

Hi Kovas,

I suggest you send your question to the boost mailing list, where people with boost.build expertise may be able to help you.

I have myself lost track of boost.build, and have therefore added a parallel build system using SCons. Using that you can build boost.python as a stand-alone library, against a pre-installed boost.
With that you specify the python version to use via `scons config --python=<the-python-executable>` from which all other flags will be deduced.
This is right now available in the 'develop' branch in https://github.com/boostorg/python, and should be merged into master in time for the next release.

HTH,
        Stefan
