[git] b2 headers not producing headers
I've tried following the instructions here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost The 'b2 headers' command doesn't see to actually produce a boost directory. Is this supposed to work or is it just too soon?

If you or anybody care to test it, you can apply a simple patch that is being evaluated containing the final bits that make this work. This is held back as we try to take care we don't break anything in the SVN layout. We need more testing and and time for b2 core developers to verify and validate. Any reports on success or problems are appreciated and will help speed up the process of getting this work completed, In particular more test in SVN layout is needed simply to verify that it has no ill effect. Thanks. See: http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2013/08/26953.php for the attached patch. To test on SVN layout I do the standard: ======================================== svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost-trunk cd boost-trunk svn apply 201308252200-boost-trunk.patch ./bootstrap.sh ./b2 check build with no errors cd status ../b2 -j 4 check build results consistent with with http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html lately I have been getting ...failed updating 83 targets... ...skipped 146 targets... To test on modularized layout similar too: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost ======================================== The https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost may be used. Below is the step I use: git clone --recursive https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git modular-boost cd modular-boost git apply 201308252200-boost-trunk.patch ./bootstrap.sh ./b2 headers or just ./b2 check build with no errors cd status ../b2 -j 4 check build results consistent with with http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html Two known issues remain in modularized layout: 1. Fix independence of status test build: cd $BOOST_ROOT/status b2 should work without doing cd $BOOST_ROOT b2 headers first. 2. Fix independence of header install: cd $BOOST_ROOT b2 install should work without doing cd $BOOST_ROOT b2 headers first. Finally I would like to make 'b2 headers' implicit. We are a bit careful with this to ensure we do not affect SVN layout. Right now it may seem to work, but it is not completely. So it is a good idea to use the b2 headers step explicitly. -- Bjørn

This is *awesome news*. Thank you for the progress you have been making. -- Dave Abrahams
