Admittedly there should be example command lines for vc-7_1 etc and not just gcc.
Can you suggest where we should show those examples? There are quite a few toolsets! Maybe in the table?
Maybe the example should feature VC, since the VC users are the ones likely to be least familiar and least comfortable with a command line tool and figuring out the right options.
I agree that will help a very large proportion of the users.
Unix users are used to scouring man pages to determine the right set of cryptic flags and switches, so tailor it to the users who need the most hand-holding with the command-line process.
Not a bad idea. Patches are welcome, BTW. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
