Hello, I have completed a set of changes meant to make building C++ Boost somewhat more streamlined, and avoid common pitfalls reported on IRC and mailing lists. In short, C++ Boost can now be build, on Windows, with:
bootstrap.bat bjam
and on Linux, with
./bootstrap.sh ./bjam
I'd imagine that 95% of users won't need anything else, and two commands is a fairly straigh-forward approach.
This is fantastic; great work, Volodya! <snip>
Dave, I understand this requires changes to getting started -- for Unix, they are textual replacements only and I have a local patch for that. For Windows, new text is needed that I'll work on as well and should have a patch for your review by Monday.
Thanks for your work on that part, too. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
