https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3644 <p> The current instructions say </p> <p> cd to boost_root and enter </p> <p> bootstrap and then </p> <p> .\bjam </p> <p> This is fine except that on a plain Windows command box, the vital info at the top telling where the libraries will be put scrolls off the top of the screen! </p> <p> Later on in the details section it says append "&gt;build.log 2&gt;&amp;1" but by that time it's too late! </p> <p> I think that it should say </p> <p> .\bjam &gt; build.log 2&gt;&amp;1 </p> <p> or there might be a default location for the detailed log (boring to users) but keep the interesting info on screen: </p> <p> After the build, the headers will be located at </p> <blockquote> <p> I:\boost_1_41_0 </p> </blockquote> <p> The libraries will be located at </p> <blockquote> <p> I:\boost_1_41_0\stage\lib </p> </blockquote> <p> And it might be helpful to mention that this may take some time (more than 15 minutes?) Lest impatient users assume it has gone wrong? </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3644 Trac 1.4.3 Vladimir Prus Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:44:15 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3644#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3644#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">Vladimir Prus</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Steven Watanabe Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:07:34 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3644#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3644#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">wontfix</span> </li> </ul> <p> The information about the paths is printed at the end now, making this irrelevant. </p> Ticket
