Description
Version: 1.35
Hi,
http://boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#zip
Build type isn't mentioned in the getting started guide. Minimal, the default, does not include debug libs. But on Windows, those are required for projects compiled in debug mode (like, eh, all projects sometimes are). So I think at least this flag should be mentioned in the getting started guide. Changing the default to include debug libs would he even better.
Greetings
--build-type=<type> Build the specified pre-defined set of variations
of the libraries. Note, that which variants get built depends on what each library supports.
minimal (default) - Builds the single "release" version of the libraries. This release corresponds to specifying: "release <threading>multi <link>shared <runtime-link>shared" as the Boost.Build variant to build.
complete - Attempts to build all possible variations.

This is indeed fixed already. Both debug and release variants are built.
I think this has been fixed already.
