I want to recompile our boost library, but with the -g, debugging flag enabled. I've been reading and see that we build boost with jam. While I know make very well, jam has always eluded me and my frustration is mounting.
Sorry. I know answering your own question is distasteful, but I was able to figure this out shortly after posting. the cxxflags and cflags properties are what I need to use, as outlined at: http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/invocation.html under the PROPERTIES sectin.
