FYI, Previously, I've made the build process to print information as to where the headers and libraries are to be found. However, that was printed at the start of the build, and many used missed that. I've now checked in a patch to print the message at the end of the build (if there are no errors). You need trunk bjam for this to work. Older bjam will not print that message but otherwise work. The sample wording is as follows: The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built! The following directory should be added to compiler include paths: /home/ghost/Work/Boost/boost-svn The following directory should be added to linker library paths: /home/ghost/Work/Boost/boost-svn/stage/lib Comments are appreciated, -- Vladimir Prus http://vladimir_prus.blogspot.com Boost.Build: http://boost.org/boost-build2
