How do I build this?
I've built Boost on Win32 (with errors in the serialization library). I'd like to just cd to the gui directory and run bjam but it asks for a boost-build.jam file.
Suggestions? Do I need to learn how to write a boost-build.jam file?
Yes, but it's pretty trivial. Just put
boost-build path/to/boost/tools/build/v1 ;
or
boost-build path/to/boost/tools/build/v2 ;
in it, depending on whether you're using BBv1 (the official release) or BBv2 (prerelease). The space before the semicolon is important.
Yes. I figured this bit out. I noted in another post. This was daunting at first. It is conforting to see a ./configure, because I know exactly where to go from there. There were confusing errors because I mistook an executable in Reece's gui.zip for a generated executable, and the error messages made absolutely no sense. It really threw me. Now that that issue has been resolved, Boost.Build is beginning to explain itself. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com
