-DBOOST_IOSTREAMS_NO_LIB not documented about iostreams

[eldiener]

I am not seeing this. I can build iostreams with a pre-built zlib and there is no problem with the build and BOOST_IOSTREAMS_NO_LIB is not defined on the command line. Maybe you need to specify what is your environment and what you are trying to "build".

On Windows with Visual Studio 2015 I build boost with the following command:
b2 -j 10 --build-dir=build\x64 --stagedir=stage\x64 --toolset=msvc -sZLIB_BINARY=zlibstat -sZLIB_INCLUDE=L:\vc14\zlib\zlib-1.2.8 -sZLIB_LIBPATH=L:\vc14\zlib\zlib-1.2.8\contrib\vstudio\vc14\x64\ZlibStatReleaseWithoutAsm runtime-link=shared link=static threading=multi address-model=64 debug release stage
Linking against boost and my prebuild zlib results in linker errors. I had to define BOOST_IOSTREAMS_NO_LIB to make it work.

According to the documentation the environment variable for specifying the library path is ZLIB_LIBRARY_PATH and not ZLIB_LIBPATH as you have it above.

ZLIB_LIBPATH will actually work because I didn't want to break backwards compatibility. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
