I have just built boost_1_61_0; I am particularly interested in Boost.Wave at this time. This is my first attempt to build any boost library, or boost in its entirety (all libs). I read and followed the build instructions from the web site, with slight modifications for my environment / purposes: bootstrap.sh 2>&1 | tee build_boost_log.txt sudo ./b2 install 2>&1 | tee -a build_boost_log.txt When it completes, I get the libboost_*.a and .so files in /usr/local/lib, and the source is installed at /usr/local/include/boost, as expected. I do get "...failed updating 58 targets..." in the build output, but my understanding is that's OK - I didn't install optional items like ICU and such. The problem is that I can't find the wave driver (or other sample) utility anywhere. Moreover, when I look at the build log, there is no indication that any of these are being built (even attempted). So I'm wondering if there's a build step / option that I am missing (and/or perhaps I need one of the "optional" 3rd party packages installed?). BTW - I'm building in Ubuntu 14.04 ARM (crouton chroot on Chromebook), with gcc/g++ 4.8.4. I didn't see any indication of any environment problems in the build log.
