boost_check_library.py: correct handling of header-only libs?
This script fails for me: <https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/master/status/boost_check_library.py#L30> Because there is no libs/beast/build. But Beast is header-only and has no src/ directory, is this correct? Apologies for posting to the list, but there is no Issues tab on the boostorg/boost repo. Thanks

Since I wrote those checks.. The reason it's failing is that it sees that you have a 'build' directory but no 'Jamfile'. You could move those files to another directory. The usual place we put those are in a 'tools' < http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Organization>. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

It exists, but does not contain a Jamfile.

A header-only library should not have a build/ directory at all.
