SCons script for building Boost
I've searched the ML archive and found out that scons wasn't considered for adoption because nobody offered to reimplement boost build instructions in terms of SCons. I'd like to work on this. Is there a chance I'll be given commit access so I could make a boost-SCons branch? ;) I've attached my early WIP build script to this posting.

Out of curiosity: As I have complained frequently and loudly to Scons developers about the lack of correct dependency checks (especially when figuring out the exact header inclusions requires a full preprocessor, as is the case for boost's MPL !), I wonder whether this is now fixed with recent SCons releases.
Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...

No idea how well current SCons regex-based scanner handles MPL. But I guess I'll see soon :) Anyway I'm planning to eventually try to make a Boost.Wave based scanner in this project: http://code.google.com/p/scons-plusplus/
PS: where's the right place to make the branch: sandbox or sandbox-branches?

I just sent you an invitation to register as a sandbox developer. Accept it, and you can make a branch of boost in the sandbox area. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSandbox -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
