Hello mentors, I would like to contribute to the core library of BOOST. I am working on windows. I cloned boostorg/core library. After cloning I found that there are many folders. Could you please tell which folder should I look up? Thank you Anshu Khare

Using Boost.Core alone is not possible. You have to at least also clone the dependencies. More realistically, you should clone Boost superproject[1] and all its submodules, which will include Boost.Core and its dependencies. git clone https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git boost cd boost git submodule update --init --recursive After that you need to bootstrap Boost.Build as described in the Getting Started page[2] and create links to library headers by invoking `b2 headers` in your Boost root directory. After that you will be able to build Boost libraries and run tests. Building libraries is described in Getting Started, to run tests you can just invoke `b2` (possibly with arguments) in the libs/<library>/test directory.
Could you please tell which folder should I look up?
In the Boost tree, you'll be working in libs/<library> folder. Each library has a set of common subfolders, such as: meta - library description include/boost - public headers src - buildable sources and private headers build - Boost.Build scripts for building the library, if there are buildable sources example - library usage examples doc - library documentation test - library tests, including Boost.Build script for testing So, for Boost.Core you'd be writing headers in libs/core/include/boost/core, writing and running tests in libs/core/test, etc. When you create new headers you'll have to invoke `b2 headers` in the Boost root again to create links to the new headers.

Respected sir, I am able to build boost libraries in Visual Studio 17. Could you please link me some fixes in the library? Thank you Regards Anshu Khare On Sat, 11 Jan, 2020, 9:50 PM Andrey Semashev via Boost, < boost@lists.boost.org> wrote:

In the Boost tree, you'll be working in libs/<library> folder. Each library has a set of common subfolders, such as:
meta - library description include/boost - public headers src - buildable sources and private headers build - Boost.Build scripts for building the library, if there are buildable sources example - library usage examples doc - library documentation test - library tests, including Boost.Build script for testing
So, for Boost.Core you'd be writing headers in libs/core/include/boost/core, writing and running tests in libs/core/test, etc. When you create new headers you'll have to invoke `b2 headers` in the Boost root again to create links to the new headers.

What fixes? Also, don't top-post. https://www.boost.org/community/policy.html#quoting
