- I'm not sure what encoding you are using to write the document, but quotes(?) show up funny in my browser (firefox on ubuntu eft). I've attached a shot of what they look like. Could be my setup.
I'm pretty sure it's the server where the file is being viewed.
Try http://boost-consulting.com/boost/more/getting_started.html
What URL were you using?
I was using the cvs checkout URL.
Yeah, that server uses Apache-1. No unicode :(
- The instructions seem to encourage building all variants of boost libraries by default. I think this would be the document to read if it also included instructions on how to only build the ones you were interested in.
The idea is to give the simplest possible instructions that will get nearly everyone going. I think we need a follow-up document that has all the details.
Yes, I think a link from this document would be great. I remember the first time I built boost I was lost trying to figure out how to reduce the number of built variants.
Who will write the follow-up document? You? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
