[modularization] Trying it out doesn't quite work?
OK I'm following https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost Git clone proceeds OK, and I seem to have everything I should have, likewise bootstrapping b2 proceeds OK. But: b2 headers does nothing at all. Trying: b2 --with-regex results in all the expected compile errors 'cos the headers aren't found. What gives? Thanks, John. PS this is on Windows Vista.

After the "cd modular-boost" step you have to apply the attached patch, then run (or in your case, re-run) booststrap.bat This patch is not supposed to affect use with an svn checkout, so it should be applied to trunk. But with the Boost.Build folks MIA, we were holding off applying it to trunk until 1.55 beta shipped. Maybe we should go ahead and do that now, but I'd like to poll the release managers first. I'll to that. By the way, the machine running the conversion script ran out of disk space a few days ago. Dave Abrahams is aware of the problem. Incidentally, I've been running tests comparing modular-boost to svn trunk, with excellent results. More on that later. --Beman
