Have I? So what did I do wrong to get me into this? I just downloaded the stuff and followed the guide. It seems easy to hit the worst case.
Typing the wrong thing almost every time you had to type something! That's not a defence of the build system though.
Instead of all this quibbling about who prefers CLI and who prefers GUI, the people who are bothered about it should help Paul come up with a simplified guide and/or submit patches to improve the docs.
Despite all the errors people might get with installing, Boost does have this excellent mailing list where people can quickly get the help they need.
Actually, I think questions about building boost should go to the users list, not here.
Or to the jamboost list, if you think your questions may lead to discussion about how to change the design of the build system. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
