--stagedir and --build-dir are very similar. We should probably make the same decision about documenting both of them.
How similar are they really?
build-dir primarily controls where all the intermediate files go. stagedir controls where the libraries get installed to. I would expect anyone who uses stage to care about where the libraries end up, even if the default is fine.
Okay, point taken. If there's going to be a default at all, I suppose Boost.Build should end by printing a message telling you where they've been installed... and probably begin by printing a message telling you where they *will* be instlaled. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
