That would be great if build told you where it placed filed :) ------Original Message------ From: David Abrahams Sender: boost-bounces@lists.boost.org To: boost@lists.boost.org ReplyTo: boost@lists.boost.org Sent: Nov 10, 2008 11:46 PM Subject: Re: [boost] Getting started build section on Thu Nov 06 2008, Steven Watanabe <watanabesj-AT-gmail.com> wrote:

--stagedir and --build-dir are very similar. We should probably make the same decision about documenting both of them.

How similar are they really?

build-dir primarily controls where all the intermediate files go. stagedir controls where the libraries get installed to. I would expect anyone who uses stage to care about where the libraries end up, even if the default is fine.

Okay, point taken. If there's going to be a default at all, I suppose Boost.Build should end by printing a message telling you where they've been installed... and probably begin by printing a message telling you where they *will* be instlaled. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
