Well I suspect I am not the only one confused already ;-)
(I did claim to be well qualified!)
A definition of 'Boost root' seems useful, for a start, even if it seems obvious to you.
It doesn't seem obvious to me, and if you read through my replies in this thread you will see that I suggested specific text that indicates which directory it is.
The table of bjam options appears to me to provide c:\boost as the Win32 default for where bjam puts the Boost version files.
How do you suggest switching to a new Boost version 1.34? And back again if it proves to cause trouble :-(
I don't understand the question.
The question was: How do you suggest to have multiple boost versions installed side by side?
No, it wasn't. I can read the exact question above. But I still don't understand it.
Who is going to contribute? I'd like to, but I don't like where should I put this guide.
I think you should work with Schobi, who is rewriting the Getting Started guide.
Maybe we should put it into bbv2 docs, because updating bbv1 docs is a waste of time due to migration to bbv1. Do you think that indeed we have to update bbv1 docs too?
We need to update the getting started guide. Changing it to refer to BBv2 when we make the switch will be trivial. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
