Hi David,
Thank you for the great document. It should help ease users into Boost. I just have a couple of suggestions/comments.
In Section 4, would it be more intuitive to list those libraries that are header-only?
Yes, but the list would be too long and too hard to maintain.
The topic heading is "Header-Only Libraries," but the list is non-header-only libraries. Also, in terms of deciding if they need to compile boost, having a list of libraries that *don't* require compilation might be more useful.
Agreed, but IMO it's impractical.
In Section 6.3, the Unix command line is missing --toolset. Some of the comments in that section (specifically the Note) imply that --toolset is mandatory. Is it not needed?
Thanks, Peter D. already pointed that one out. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
