Hello I want to compile boost on my pc and get it's libs without Boost version number or the name and version number of the compiler like "libboost_date_time.lib" I used : b2 --without-mpi --build-type=minimal --layout=system and b2 --layout=system but none of them worked for me how can I get Those libs

So, what names did you get with --layout=system?

Why? If you're using autolinking (which you should be using on Windows) then the name of the libraries is completely unimportant, since you don't have to put it into any scripts or project properties. (And it's in your best interest to include Boost and compiler versions in those names, to prevent accidentally getting the wrong one. Mismatches can go quite wrong, sometimes in very subtle and hard to trace ways.)
