Hello,
yesterday I downloaded the boost installer package from boost-consulting site (http://www.boost-consulting.com/download.html) and started the installation. Everything was fine, but now I have a question: After choosing and installing the desired libraries I would like to know what should be expected as a result?
I selected to install the libraries for Visual C++ 8.0, but I still had to put manually into C++
Options Dialog the directories to boost includes, libs and binaries. Shouldn't this be done by setup?
I'm not sure if there's a way to do that, and even then, would it really be appropriate to force those settings on all of a user's projects?
Would not it be better to create merge modules, so that boost users could use them for their installations as well?
Sorry, what's a merge module?... Googling... oh, nice idea. Unfortunately it's not supported by the installer technology we chose AFAICT. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
