So you tried to create the symlinks manually...
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/StartModDev says "Create a symlink to simulate your library being installed as part of Boost:
Windows: mklink /d simple ..\libs\simple\include\boost\simple POSIX: ln -s ../libs/simple/include/boost/simple simple"
I think you were using the right piece of documentation in this case, because StartModDev is aimed at people who want to add their own library (like trivial) while TryModBoost explains how to install the existing libraries. As I said in the other email, I also think the above *did* achieve the effect you wanted to achieve.
If you followed the documentation, you should have called this instead:
cmake -P forward_headers.cmake
Huh? I'm not using cmake am I? I'm using bjam/b2 aren't I?
Yes, mostly b2, but Daniel is right that the documentation in TryModBoost *does* contain an invocation of cmake (which provides symlinks for all existing boost libraries). This has been pointed out before in [1]. You didn't actually need to run that command just in order to get trivial working, though. I hope everything is clear now! -Julian ______ [1] http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2012/12/199134.php
