bcp doesn't work as expected
Hi everyone, I'm trying to use boosts shared_ptr class, and only that one - I was happy to see that boosts provides such a cool tool as bcp. However, it seems that the installation that bcp performs is not complete in my case. When compiling my project, I first found out that "boost/config/user.hpp" was missing. So I copied that one manually and assumed that it was just a little bug since that one does just includes comments and might therefore have been ignored by bcp for some reason. But now, I still find that "boost/config/compiler/visualc.hpp" is missing and my project is unable to compile. According to the bcp description ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/tools/bcp/bcp.html) I was assuming that bcp should install all compiler configs that might be necessary for any random platform. Here's how I used bcp after I built it (Windows7, VC10): "{path-to-the-bcp-build-dir}/bsp.exe shared_ptr.hpp E:\SDK\boost_1_47_0_dependencies" , invoked from the root of the freshly downloaded boost directory E:\SDK\boost_1_47_0. Did I make a mistake, or is this a bug? Thanks a lot in advance! Regards, Max

I can't see an obvious mistake. However, I can't reproduce here either (on Vista, but that's the only difference). Can you execute: bcp --list shared_ptr.hpp and let me know what it prints out? Thanks, John.
Ok, here as a text file, since I saw that the message was already
automatically held back.. thanks!

Adding boost/config does the trick, indeed! I'll try it with again
with the next release, but this is already very nice.
Thanks a lot for the awesome support :-)
Best Wishes from Germany,

Ah... my bad, it is a bug, and it's already been fixed for the next release.
For now if you just copy over all of boost/config/ that will hopefully do the trick.
HTH, John. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
