The directory is missing in both Windows and Unix distributions. - The directory is mentioned in several steps on the getting started page (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/more/getting_started/windows.html). - Without the binaries I'm unable to compile due to the missing ""libboost_system-vc120-mt-gd-1_56.lib"" file. Any help greatly appreciated." Bugs new To Be Determined Getting Started Guide Boost 1.56.0 Showstopper lib precompiled library binaries
