Dear Beman & others,
At the risk of appearing ignorant and being told the RTM, can someone please help me to build btree? I am attempting to do this on a smallish ARM Linux box where building the whole of Boost is impractical (but which should otherwise be very similar to an x86 Linux system). So far:
# apt-get install g++ (etc) # apt-get install boost-build # apt-get install bjam # apt-get install git
$ git clone git://github.com/Beman/Boost-Btree btree $ cd btree/libs/btree/build $ bjam error: Could not find parent for project at '.' error: Did not find Jamfile or project-root.jam in any parent directory.
As it says, there is no project-root.jam or Jamfile in any parent; this makes me think that perhaps it is expecting this to be part of a larger Boost tree.
Yes, that's what it expects. Is getting full Boost source tree inpractical, too? You can build just one library easily. - Volodya
