"Ugo Mendes Donelli"
In the "Getting Started" section of boost web site, there should be a requirements section.
For which compilers and platforms?
When actually built and installed on Windows, the library 1.33 required more than 2GB of disk space. I was targeting VC++ 7.1. The 1.32 library used more or less 1GB of disk. The disk space requirements that I mention include the bin subdirectory created by the build process in the library's source tree, directory that I generally delete by hand shortly after.
I don't think that any user will run out of disk space but it's better if the users know about this before they build the library.
I agree it would be helpful. If you want to take responsibility for writing and maintaining this section, I'm sure other Boost users would be grateful. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
