There are some good instructions at http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/more/getting_started/unix-variants.htm..., section 5.1 "Easy Build and Install". That's for 1.34.1, and I've just been on a wild goose chase looking for the 1.35 equivalent. I can't find it at beta.boost.org, but I recall reading something here about the "more" content and beta.boost.org, so I won't revisit that. In the download, it seems to be in more/getting_started. That took me a _long_ time to find: I was doing all sorts of greps in the doc directory. Where the two links to the getting started docs not obvious from the boost-root/index.html file? Or is it the boost-root/index.html file itself?
I never noticed the index.html file in the root of the distribution. I'm not in the habit of browsing source-trees with a web browser.
I think the best fix for this is to provide a very simple INSTALL file: See index.html for information about this release. The "Getting Started" section is a useful starting place. Comments? --Beman
