ISO boost library help

["Nellis, Kenneth" <Kenneth.Nellis@conduent.com>]

Trying unsuccessfully (so far) to use the Cygwin-provided boost libraries. The 
only boost-related package I saw was boost-build, which I've installed.

$ cygcheck -c boost-build
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
boost-build          1.63.0-1       OK
$

Google seems to be telling me that I have to build (compile) the libraries with 
bjam, but finding no relevant documentation on how to do that from the Cygwin 
package.

$ pwd
/usr/share/boost-build
$ ls -l
total 5

$ bjam

Would appreciate some pointers.
