Dear Beman & others,
At the risk of appearing ignorant and being told the RTM, can someone please help me to build btree? I am attempting to do this on a smallish ARM Linux box where building the whole of Boost is impractical (but which should otherwise be very similar to an x86 Linux system). So far:
# apt-get install g++ (etc) # apt-get install boost-build # apt-get install bjam # apt-get install git
$ git clone git://github.com/Beman/Boost-Btree btree $ cd btree/libs/btree/build $ bjam error: Could not find parent for project at '.' error: Did not find Jamfile or project-root.jam in any parent directory.
As it says, there is no project-root.jam or Jamfile in any parent; this makes me think that perhaps it is expecting this to be part of a larger Boost tree.
Yes, that's what it expects. Is getting full Boost source tree inpractical, too? You can build just one library easily.
Ah, and when you get full tree, I'd recommend: ./bootstrap.sh ./bjam --with-btree as opposed to using whatever version of Boost.Build is in Debian -- it is probably old. - Volodya
