I'm not sure "libs", or "Libraries", or "Library Files", fits in this case because we are talking about both programs(bjam, wave, etc.) and libraries. And the other examples, Python, MinGW, etc. also install programs. A more appropriate location would be:

"\Development Files\Boost" "\Development Files\Python" "\Development Files\MinGW" ...

Although the shorter "\Development\*" would probably works as well. But if we are talking about such a location you need to consider language localization, in the same way as "Program Files" treated.

Personally I have \Packages\boost

I always use <drive>:\dev or $HOME/dev, depending upon platform. "dev" is short and sweet.

I think what this proves is that the location needs to be user selectable! -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 441434
