-The boost developers really loathe people who want to use DESTDIR, their ticket 1811 is still open :[https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1811]
+To use a DESTDIR method just change the `--prefix` option in the install command:
+{{{
+    ./b2 --prefix=$DESTDIR/usr install threading=multi link=shared
+}}}
+(where $DESTDIR is set to /some/path/to/directory)
 
-Fortunately, the last addition there works:
-{{{
-    ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$PREFIX ...
-    ./b2 --prefix=$DESTDIR$PREFIX install
-}}}
-(obviously, expand $PREFIX to /usr and $DESTDIR to /some/path/to/directory)
+If you wish to get verbose output from '''./b2''', add `-d+2` to the invocation. Doing that, you can see that only g++ is used, and that the default compile flags are -O3. If you wish to append any other CXXFLAGS, add `cxxflags="-fwhatever"` to the first '''./b2''' invocation (the second invocation for install only copies the files).
 
-If you wish to get verbose output from bjam, add '-d+2' to the invocation. Doing that, you can see that only g++ is used, and that the default compile flags are -O3. If you wish to append any other CXXFLAGS, add cxxflags="-fwhatever" to the first bjam invocation (the second invocation for install only copies the files).

-For the little it is worth, the output of bootsrap.sh is in bootstrap.log - it uses gcc without any CFLAGS, but optimizing that seems a waste of time.
