c) if necessary, one can build using boost build v2 - I forget the procedure. But basically boost build is indifferent to whether it's the release or trunk.
When I have boost build v2 installed form trunk and I try to use it to test (any) libraries from branches/release, then I'm getting this:
d:\dev\boost\_svn\branches\release\libs\serialization\test>b2 D:/dev/boost/_svn/branches/release/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:266: unbalanced parentheses
So, I have to reinstall boost build v2 from branches/release, then everything works.
I'm sure there are other ways to do this but that's how I do it. As I said before boost build and other tools work the same regardless of the branch
Perhaps there is a temporary issue in the trunk or simply it is my environment fault.
I made the syntax checking in trunk b2 stricter, exposing a few bugs in Boost.Build. I'll downgrade this to a warning.
Thanks for all your comments Robert, very helpful.
