All,

Does anyone have an example of how to install boost and bjam?

See the recently much improved Getting Started guide: http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html.

After you follow those instructions, boost will still not work.

Even if you were right, I think you're painting with too broad a brush here. But I think you're wrong.

You'll need to create links to all of the mangled library names. For example, in my case all of the libraries have either "gcc" or "gcc_1_31" mangled in. However, the examples (or more specifically the boost.python example) assume that the libraries have unmangled names.

The Boost.Python example should still work just fine, if you follow the instructions. bjam doesn't use the mangled library names when building with cross-project dependencies. It worked for me just now. I went into libs/python/example and did bjam test and everything passed. No funky linking should is needed. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
