[boost 1.34 beta][function][pool][signals][test][tr1] Missing headers files on install!! (was: MSVC 8 installation issue)

Rene,
Thanks for the answer. I copied the include from c:\boost\Include to my source control and did the same with lib directory. I solved the problem. In attachment is the list of files which were not installed via the "bjam.exe ... install" command, but after copying them manually (to my sc dir) compilation succeeded.
Sure some of them are not required (I simply diff-ed the directories), but some of them were definitely missing.
I must this is rather depressing :-( Of course most of those missing files are because authors are using "non-standard" file extensions for file. This *has* to be fixed, so I'm fixing it. And since this post is going to the dev list also, I'm asking lib authors to pay attention to this request for info...

These don't need to be copied into the installation directory; they're just helpers for generating headers. If they cause trouble, we can just remove them entirely. - Doug

I am sorry i am missing the context. What is not installed, where and why?
** test ** parsetree.dtd
I don't recognize this name
argv_traverser.cpp char_parameter.cpp dual_name_parameter.cpp id_policy.cpp named_parameter.cpp parser.cpp validation.cpp environment.cpp config_file.cpp config_file_iterator.cpp
This is not required at the moment by the mainstream Boost.Test. But I would prefer them to stay where they are - along with .hpp files Gennadiy

Some "header" files, in root/boost, are not copied when users run "bjam install".
** test ** parsetree.dtd

Oops, that's Spirit. I got confused since it's in "spirit/tree"

The question is, are they needed by users of Boost.Test? Hence, should they be installed? -- -- 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

Yep, and all the tr1/sun/*.SUNWCCh files need to be installed to keep Sunpro happy as well, likewise the tr1/borland/*.h files for the Borland compiler. Apologies for the non-standard extensions, but that's what the compilers required :-( I hadn't realised that the install was that picky: I just assumed it copied all of boost/. John.
