We are starting to pull together documentation for the Git and Modular Boost conversion.
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/WikiStart#GitandModularBoost
Comments and corrections welcome!
I'm particularly interested in unanswered questions you have after reading these initial docs.
I tried to compile/execute some unit-tests. Unfortunately some files seam to be missing (bootstrap.jam):
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system. --------------------------------------------------------- /boost/boost-build.jam attempted to load the build system by invoking
'boost-build tools/build/v2 ;'
but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching /boost/tools/build/v2, /usr/share/boost-build).
I did: - git clone https://github.com/boost-lib/boost.git - cd boost/libs - git clone https://github.com/boost-lib/core.git - cd core/test - b2
Do I have to clone an additional submodule (which is not mentioned in the docu)?
Beman's docs appear to lack instructions for how to clone the super-project and initialize the sub-modules. That would be a nice addition. I don't know the steps and can't find them ATM, but I know it's documented *somewhere*. Beman? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
