I've tried to carry out these instructions but changing the names and files a tiny bit (Windows 7)

but it is here
I:\boost-trunk\libs\trivial\include\boost\trivial\thrice.hpp
I *think* I've got the directory structure right, and I created a symbolic link that looks promising:
I:\boost-trunk\boost>mklink /d trivial ..\libs\trivial\include\boost\trivial symbolic link created for trivial <<===>> ..\libs\trivial\include\boost\trivial
dir \trivial
doesn't find anything.
While I do some homework on symbolic links, any suggestions on where I have blundered?
I'd like to help you but I need to ask some questions first for clarification:
- By "dir \trivial doesn't find anything", do you mean that Windows throws an error at you and/or you don't get to see any directory contents? If yes, does it help to leave out the backward slash (assuming you run the command while in I:\boost-trunk\boost)?
- I think the symbolic link looks promising too, and I can't help but wonder whether the

error is actually still occurring since you made the link. I realise that you probably tried, just asking for maximum clarity. :-)
No - even if unusually - I'm working through the instructions in the given order ;-)
- Are you experiencing these problems with existing Boost libraries as well? For example, Boost.Array?
