However, I am wondering now whether my build worked correctly or not. I am trying to avoid running into subtle and hard to debug problems later. Does anyone know if or what went wrong with my build? What is the stage directory and is it safe to use it?
stage/lib is the correct directory. If you look at the end of the b2 output, it should say so.
You are right, of course; thank you for pointing that out. I was so focused on following the documentation that I did not notice the this remark at the end of the b2 output. This means, however, that there is a mistake in the documentation, right? In sections 6.1 and 6.2 (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#link- from-within-the-visual-studio-ide and http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#or- link-from-the-command-prompt , respectively), the paths should be C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_55_0\stage\lib instead of C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_55_0\lib Or am I missing something? Best wishes, Lutz
