#3260 closed Bugs (fixed)

Getting Started has wrong Boost.Build option

Reported by: Michael Caisse Owned by: Dave Abrahams
Milestone: Boost 1.40.0 Component: Getting Started Guide
Version: Boost 1.39.0 Severity: Problem
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Section 5.1 of the Getting Start Guide indicates:

Also, consider using the --show-libraries and --with-libraries= options to limit the long wait you'll experience if you build everything.

The actual option for specifying a specific library should be:

{{{--with-<library>}}

For example, --with-date_time

This might be what is meant in the text; however, it is a confusing. We see questions about this at least once a week on IRC. A simple example in the text may clear it up.
