1.40.0 beta 1 release candidates are available at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/
Before pushing the beta out to SourceForge, I'd appreciate it if several people would try the release candidate and report success or problems.
FWIW, I have tried on Linux, with both stage and install, and with both --layout=system, and --layout=versioned, and things worked OK.
--build-type=complete does not work with ICU installed in the same way as reported by Václav Haisman.
It would be important to have somebody to test on Windows, using the "bootstrap.bat + .\bjam" procedure. I can do this, but not sooner than Saturday.
Hi, this is my first post to the ml, so I picked up a relatively easy task :-) I have built the boost-windows-2009-08-11 rc without any glaring errors, with visual studio 2010 beta1. I simply did, from a visual studio 2010 prompt, bootstrap bjam.exe --toolset=msvc-10.0 --build-type=complete >build_complete.log 2>&1 The resulting project -config.jam was very simple, just one line with using msvc ; The last line of the log are the following: ...failed updating 6 targets... ...skipped 22 targets... ...updated 2199 targets... I don't have time at the moment to run some regression tests. I began following the procedure indicated on the docs but I found some minor typos which slowed me, and now I'm late. It seems to me that, without any tuning, there is some slightly misplaced path (for instance, this is the output that I am getting C:\libs\boost-windows-2009-08-11\libs\regex\test>..\..\..\tools\regression\src\library_test --toolset=msvc-10.0 boost_root: C:/libs/boost-windows-2009-08-11 locate_root: C:/libs/boost-windows-2009-08-11 **** exception(205): std::runtime_error: boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor: The system cannot find the path specified: "C:\libs\boost-windows-2009-08-11\bin.v2\libs\regex\test" ******** errors detected; see standard output for details ******** And this is only natural, since vin.v2\libs\regex doesn't contain any test folder, while on the contrary . Am I doing something wrong? If needed I can attach the build log. Hope to have been of some help. bye, Francesco ps: the two small typos in the docs are the following: 1) in the Generating library status page (boost-windows-2009-08-11\tools\regression\doc\library_status.html), the path to library_test.bat is ..\..\..\tools\regression\src\library_test and not ..\..\..\tools\regression\library_test. 2) another small glitch is that the Jamroot.jam didn't build the library_status.exe. I added a #~ just before "explicit library_status;" and it built, but contrarily to status.html indications both process_jam_log.exe and library_status.exe were to be found in a subdir of the bin\ folder (in my case they were to be found under boost-windows-2009-08-11\tools\regression\build\bin\msvc-10.0\release\threading-multi )
