[1] For example, I can not figure out how to get it to use g++-4.1 instead of the default g++ (which is 4.0). This is really unacceptable. It shouldn't take me more than 30 seconds to figure that out.
Boost.Build v2:
# ~/user-config.jam using gcc : : path/to/g++-4.1 ;
makes g++-4.1 your default gcc. Of course you can also register your versions separately:
using gcc : 4.0 : g++ ; using gcc : 4.1 : path/to/g++-4.1 ;
couldn't be much easier.
Well, to be honest, some simple python script, or python-style function with keyword-arguments calling conventions would be much more intuitive. I can't say that I would have thought of the above syntax readily, I have to admit. FWIW. Regards, Stefan
