boost links all components

[rogtino]

I have no idea why boost always links to all components
here is my xmake.lua:

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

add_requires("boost", { configs = { all = false } })
target("server")
do
	set_kind("binary")
	add_files("src/*.cpp")
	add_packages("boost")
end

I have disabled all config,which should be disabled by default.
But boost still tries to link to all components,why...
here is my xmake -v:

it are using the installed boost from your system.

you can set system = false to disable system boost.

add_requires("boost", {system = false})

Is it possible to use boost from system while disable some components?

[waruqi]

you can open a pr to improve boost package. Add on_fetch to implment it.

[rogtino]

感觉有点复杂，不知道如何下手。。。
这种情况下不能用system下的boost吗？

[waruqi]

默认就是用的系统库，但是目前的查找就是一股脑全部获取到。也没处理 link order 和 分组。。想要针对性选择使用部分 系统组件。。

那就提 pr 改进 boost 包，实现 on_fetch 。。根据设置的组件名，仅仅查找部分组件库，并且处理调整好 link order 。。

想要省事，就直接用远程安装包，-vD 看下编译错误，提 pr 修下遇到的编译错误
