If you're building Boost from git, you should run `./b2 headers` before building Boost.
The output you posted is missing the actual compilation errors for these files. Check the earlier compiler messages for these files. Or run `./b2 -j8 --with-filesystem` to build specifically Boost.Filesystem and see the output.
Ok, I added `./b2 headers` before `./b2 -j8 install` which didn't change anything that I could see. `./b2 -j8 --with-filesystem` then gave me this: ...patience... ...found 3209 targets... ...updating 46 targets... boost-install.generate-cmake-config- bin.v2/libs/headers/build/stage/boost_headers-config.cmake boost-install.generate-cmake-config- bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/stage/boost_filesystem-config.cmake boost-install.generate-cmake-config-version- bin.v2/libs/headers/build/stage/boost_headers-config-version.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/libboost_atomic.so.1.85.0 ln-UNIX /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/libboost_atomic.so boost-install.generate-cmake-config- bin.v2/libs/atomic/build/stage/boost_atomic-config.cmake boost-install.generate-cmake-config-version- bin.v2/libs/atomic/build/stage/boost_atomic-config-version.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/libboost_atomic.a common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/BoostDetectToolset-1.85.0.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_filesystem-1.85.0/boost_filesystem-config.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/Boost-1.85.0/BoostConfig.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/Boost-1.85.0/BoostConfigVersion.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_headers-1.85.0/boost_headers-config.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_headers-1.85.0/boost_headers-config-version.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_atomic-1.85.0/boost_atomic-config-version.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_atomic-1.85.0/libboost_atomic-variant-shared.cmake boost-install.generate-cmake-config-version- bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/stage/boost_filesystem-config-version.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_atomic-1.85.0/boost_atomic-config.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_atomic-1.85.0/libboost_atomic-variant-static.cmake common.copy /home/ted/git/boost/stage/lib/cmake/boost_filesystem-1.85.0/boost_filesystem-config-version.cmake gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/gcc-14/release/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/unique_path.o libs/filesystem/src/unique_path.cpp:57:10: fatal error: boost/scope/unique_fd.hpp: No such file or directory 57 | #include <boost/scope/unique_fd.hpp> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated.
