#7324 closed Bugs (fixed)

"Getting Started": LIst of libs requiring to be built is not correct

Reported by: jaredgrubb@… Owned by: Daniel James
Milestone: To Be Determined Component: Getting Started Guide
Version: Boost 1.51.0 Severity: Problem
Keywords: Cc:

Description

In "Getting Started", the list of libraries required to be built does not match what "bootstrap.sh --show-libraries' gives.

On the webpage are: Boost.Filesystem Boost.GraphParallel Boost.IOStreams Boost.MPI Boost.ProgramOptions Boost.Python Boost.Regex Boost.Serialization Boost.Signals Boost.System Boost.Thread Boost.Wave

But bootstrap.sh gives all of the above plus:

Boost.Chrono Boost.Context Boost.Datetime Boost.Exception Boost.Graph Boost.Locale Boost.Math Boost.Random Boost.Test Boost.Timer

Some of the above are listed in the "optional" column, some are not listed at all, but that's what bootstrap says are required.

Boost.Timer should be added to the list of libraries that need building.

The docs say:

Setup

Boost.Timer is implemented as a separately compiled library, so you must install binaries in a location that can be found by your linker. If you followed the Boost Getting Started instructions, that's already done for you.
