I am trying to get started using Boost under Linux in order to test my TTI library using the latest trunk. So first I try using bootstrap with:
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=~/bin
It completes succesfully but nothing is put in my home bin subdirectory. Did I do something wrong ?
./booststrap.sh doesn't build anything. To install Boost, run ./b2 install
In the getting started guide, section 5.1 it says: "./bootstrap.sh --prefix=path/to/installation/prefix" and then "./b2 install" but I think that is wrong since in section 5.2.1 it says: "Run bootstrap.sh Run b2 install --prefix=PREFIX where PREFIX is the directory where you want Boost.Build to be installed" which appears to be what you are saying. Would be niced if someone fixed that documentation since I am probably not the only one to trip on it.
