Re: [Boost-users] Re: MAC OS X installation of boost libs

Hello well I always have problem following unix like instructions but the main problem I had with these instruction was that there was a lot of if you have this system do that if you have that config do this, etc. Which ends up getting a little confusing and it would seamed that the instructions just got complicated. It would be better to see a common/general step by step for system a,b and c, like Mac os x, pc, unix etc. leaving the more complete documents for those who have a custom config. This is just my opinion but I think in the long run when one for each system is avalable then there will be no more problem like this which as boost gets more populare is going to happen. when more people start leaving windows and moving to linux or unix or macos then there are going to be a number of unformilare people lost in a unix back ground. If you would like like any more input please ask. Anyway I am just a bit thick but that is who these instruction should be aimed at. Michael On 25 Mar 2004, at 01:32, David Abrahams wrote:

Thanks again maybe someone should add this to the docs!

As the original poster said, these instructions were lifted directly from "the docs". Please help us understand what to change so that others don't have trouble.
