On the page (http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html), the following text (under the Build/Install section)is inaccurate. [snip]
The main problem is that this is considered (by myself and maybe others) as an example. However, actually issuing this command does not properly build multithreaded code. The jamfiles apparantly interpret "<threading>multi" differently from "<threading>multiple" and we do end up with a "<threading>multiple" set of libraries, but they are not built with threading enabled. To get threading enabled, one must use "<threading>multi" instead.
Oops.. thanks for pointing it out.
This brings up another issue. Should the jamfiles correctly accept threading attributes which are not properly interpreted? Since I am not a jam expert, and have no idea how difficult this is to fix, I'll leave it alone, and make sure my incantations are properly formed. However, it should be addressed in some form, especially since the official docs even seem a bit confused.
Boost.Build should complain about such things. So I guess that's another bug :-( -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq
