It is also important to address the issue of how maintainers of libraries can be sure they are up to date.
It would probably help if you delete your current boost/ directory (the one containing the headers) and then recreate it with "b2 headers", so that we can see if the result will be as we expect, that is, boost/integer_fwd.hpp is a symlink and not a copy.
Hopefully, you'd only need to do that once, and from that point on, b2 will automatically keep the links up to date. Until next time. :-)
I have done that and the new list attached shows only links. Standard tests are also running correctly, showing me it is finding the headers in the new setup. Should I now do the same thing on master as well? Was there a change in the way b2 works sometime in the last 12 months, or did I set up the system incorrectly? I know there was someone else who had a similar problem to myself. Thank you John
