FYI, I've committed, and then merged to release branch, the following doc changes: 1. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/49508, which makes Jamroot list some of the properties that user might want to specify. 2. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/49511, which revises the Boost.Build docs on configuration and invocation. The problem with the previous docs was that the information a newbie user (of C++ Boost, or of any other project) would have to look at a bunch of pages to understand everything -- e.g. command line syntax was split into two pages, and there was huge unlinked list of features on yet another page. Now, the "Configuration" and "Invocation" sections are supposed to say mostly everything needed for a quickstart. I also though that getting started needs update, to link to those pages, and to use toolset= as opposed to --toolset=, but it does not seem like there's time for that. - Volodya -- Vladimir Prus http://vladimir_prus.blogspot.com Boost.Build V2: http://boost.org/boost-build2
