Hi, After reading the "Customer Friendlier Boost Installation" thread, I've now enough motivation to get into this... I've been planning a boost GUI semi-installer, but hadn't gotten around to it due to lack of time. I call it "semi" in the sense that it wouldn't be the typical "wizard like" installer everyone's used to, but rather a configuring utility for (at least) the IDEs I'm familiar with. Here's what I thought it should do: 1) Register include/lib directories with VCx 2) Don't know how yet, but try the same with BCB (as I think it's on a per-project basis, rather than global settings like VC) 3) Allow building of libraries which require it, with the following options: - Which compiler(s) to use? - Which configuration (debug/threading/static/etc) for each compiler? I believe that detecting which libraries need building would just be a matter of searching for a "build" subdirectory within a given library's directory. Don't know about configurations, though, maybe some simple parsing of the jamfiles would do.. The reason I chose not to do it as an installer, is because I'm far more comfortable with developing GUIs with say, BCB, than I am with the installer programs I've tried. Comments, suggestions, requests are welcome. Pablo Aguilar
