Bootstrap currently fails

[myselfasunder@…]

I just just did a clone from Github.

The instructions that I'm following are at more/getting_started/unix-variants.html.

The first step fails on a missing directory:

boost$ ./bootstrap.sh 
./bootstrap.sh: 1: ./bootstrap.sh: ./tools/build/v2/engine/build.sh: not found
Building Boost.Build engine with toolset ... 
Failed to build Boost.Build build engine
Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details

It turns out that the directions under 5.1 don't work at all, but 5.2.1 works fine.

However, 5.2.4 (using b2 to build Boost) don't work.

Command:

boost$ b2 --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost toolset=gcc stage

Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.
---------------------------------------------------------
/home/dustin/build/boost/boost-build.jam attempted to load the build system by invoking

   'boost-build tools/build/v2 ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory
or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching /home/dustin/build/boost/tools/build/v2, /usr/share/boost-build).

Please consult the documentation at 'http:--www.boost.org'.

bootstrap.jam is located here:

boost$ find ./ -name "bootstrap.jam"
./tools/build/src/kernel/bootstrap.jam
./tools/build/src/bootstrap.jam
./tools/build/test/startup/boost-root/build/bootstrap.jam

If I change to tools/build/src:

boost/tools/build/src$ b2 --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost toolset=gcc stage
notice: could not find main target stage
notice: assuming it is a name of file to create.
error: Project target requested but not yet assigned for module 'Jamfile</home/dustin/build/boost/tools/build/src>'.
