--->  Configuring boost-jam
--->  Building boost-jam with target all

--->  Staging boost-jam into destroot

--->  Installing boost-jam

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using boost-jam with these commands:
