Back in 2009, Boris Schäling wrote a Boost.Build tutorial that many deemed to be better than the tutorial in the official documentation. It took quite some time, but it's now part of Boost.Build, here:
http://www.boost.org/build/tutorial.html
I'd appreciate any comments.
Helpful. I feel that a lot of the trouble with b2 (it would be helpful to mention that it is also called bjam?) is the syntax - I find it truly bizarre. And the resulting error messages are also pretty inscrutable :-( Now that we have Boost.Filesystem etc, if b2 rules were written as C++ functions ... Paul --- Paul A.
