Hi Everyone,
I'm sending a ping again regarding the installation target of Boost Build v2. I ran this command (on RC_1_34_0) and noticed some headers weren't being copied over:
bjam --v2 install --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8" I always wonder why people think that's a good place to install things into.
My bad, it should have been --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC"
I also don't think it's a good place to install things into, but I'm primarily not a Windows user, and putting the boost libraries installed in the default include/ and lib/ directory of the compiler I use just makes it _easier_ if anything else. ;)
As both a Windows and non-Windows user/developer I personally don't follow most of the recommended/default installation if I can help it. I avoid installing into /usr/local, /usr, "C:\Program Files", or whatever else the default is. Such defaults are usually just impediments to getting repeatable and isolated install results for development and testing. But I guess that just the configuration manager in me babbling. So I'll shut up now ;-)
Thanks!
Welcome. And thanks for spotting the problem. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
