* GitHub.? exercise? and other links are broken?
works for me
* Layout of directory structure seems a significantly different structure to most Boost libraries, with boost_1-0-99/boost and boost_1-0-99/libs (as referenced http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Directory_structure. Is this intended?
changed directory structure is required because of each library becomes a submodule and therefore can reside in its own git-repo
* Where do example and doc (and build and src go)? * Surely no library project (however simple) should exist without /doc and /example (and /test) folders?
<repo-roo>/libs/<library xyz>/ ...
* Has anyone actually used these instructions yet? (Some previous Boost instructions didn't actually work if you followed them blindly :-(
yes - works very nice for me
* These instructions don't guide a user with an IDE Visual Studio, NetBeans, Eclipse ... on how to set up their project so that it can be easily transferred from (and to) the development tool.
