Might be worth noting in the Getting Started document's section for Unix-like systems... Dave, what do you think?
Umm... have you read that document?
What I read was the one you posted about a while back... It's obviously different than the one in http://boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html now.
./configure is being described to be used along with make. I was under the impression that it could be used with Boost.Jam, and so I was looking for a combo which did the following:
Well it probably can, but make is just going to (if necessary, build and) invoke bjam anyway.
$ ./configure --your-options $ bjam stage
Instead of the seemingly (and actually) more complicated:
$ bjam --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost --toolset=gcc stage
Or am I understanding it wrong?
I guess you're understanding it wrong. "./configure && make install" is much much simpler than anything that requires the user to acquire a bjam binary. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com Don't Miss BoostCon 2007! ==> http://www.boostcon.com
