Hi,

In the Jamfile help it says:

--builddir=DIR Build in this location instead of building within the distribution tree. Recomended!

Does this mean the build is not the same as the install, i.e. while building, files are being stored somewhere and removed after final installation?

They're not removed automatically, but can easily be removed by you if you use this option. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
