The reason I chose not to do it as an installer, is because I'm far more comfortable with developing GUIs with say, BCB, than I am with the installer programs I've tried.
Well .. the commercial installers take care of a lot of common issues that occur, adding a layer of reliability and tested code for the common tasks of installing files, editing paths, registry, and displaying a familar user interface. Are you really sure you'd want to stray off the beaten path here?
Take a look at Inno Setup:
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
It's the one I used to create:
Is there documentation that describes what that does?
No, since it's only experimental, hence why it's in the sandbox ;-) But a one line description for what it currently does: "It installs pre-built binaries of the various Boost tools."
Should we be advertising it on the Boost site?
Not unless some one, other than me, is prepared to support it. I made it as I was in the middle of following the disparate instructions on installing/setup to use Boost.Book and figured I would encapsulate the experience in a more repeatable and useful form. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
