[RC_1_34_0] Boost Build v2 installation missing headers
Hi Everyone, I'm sending a ping again regarding the installation target of Boost Build v2. I ran this command (on RC_1_34_0) and noticed some headers weren't being copied over: bjam --v2 install --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8" I am trying to build the library I'm working on ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/dispatcher ) using MSVC 8. I've not enough experience with Boost.Jam (I just had it up and running, and my local copy of the library was just converted to build against/with boost using Boost.Jam) but would like to see how I can check which headers are being copied over for msvc. Most of the missing headers that I noticed pertained to msvc specific headers (like detail/msvc in preprocessor, and mpl). Is there a place where I should start looking? Ive tried most of the .jam files in the boost/tools/build directory, but somehow I don't feel like I'm looking in the right place. I really would like to help, though pointers would be most appreciated. Have a great weekend everyone! -- Dean Michael C.

It's now fixed in HEAD <http://tinyurl.com/jpnas> and RC branch <http://tinyurl.com/zevxa>. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

My bad, it should have been --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC" I also don't think it's a good place to install things into, but I'm primarily not a Windows user, and putting the boost libraries installed in the default include/ and lib/ directory of the compiler I use just makes it _easier_ if anything else. ;)

Confirmed. I did a cvs update, and the headers are being copied now. Thanks! -- Dean Michael C. Berris C/C++ Software Architect Orange and Bronze Software Labs http://3w-agility.blogspot.com/ http://cplusplus-soup.blogspot.com/ Mobile: +639287291459 Email: dean [at] orangeandbronze [dot] com

As both a Windows and non-Windows user/developer I personally don't follow most of the recommended/default installation if I can help it. I avoid installing into /usr/local, /usr, "C:\Program Files", or whatever else the default is. Such defaults are usually just impediments to getting repeatable and isolated install results for development and testing. But I guess that just the configuration manager in me babbling. So I'll shut up now ;-)
Thanks!
Welcome. And thanks for spotting the problem. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
