How can I find what I didn't install
Hi, I complile and installed boost 1.31 library today, I followd the instructions in the website and I got part of it installed. I have seen some messages in the process of compile which said , something is skiped and something is failed. Now , I think part of boost have already installed. And I want to know , which part I didn't install, How can I get such information? Thank you !

Things that generate "skipped" messages: 1) GZip and BZip2 (does it even have that?) support for Boost.IOStreams. (requires zlib and libbzip2) 2) Unicode support for Boost.Regex. (requires ICU) 3) I think Boost.Python is skipped if it can't find a Python installation. Things that could fail: Everything. In my experience, though, Boost.Python is the most problematic. Things you're missing: The optional stuff that was skipped. Depending on when it failed, potentially everything that has a compiled part: Regex, Filesystem, parts of DateTime, parts of BGL, Python - I think that's all. In other words, you have everything that doesn't require compilation. Sebastian Redl

If you just missed the various messages among all the rest of the output, you can just rerun the install to see them. It won't reinstall things, it will just try to build/install what it couldn't in the first place. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

After installed, I only found 8 dlls in my library path, is this normal? Things that could fail: Everything. In my experience, though, Boost.Python is the most problematic.
