Hi,
I just installed the binaries for 1.54 from boost-binaries on sourceforge, and I'm also wondering about the "lib"-folder stuff. Since I use cmake I would really prefer for the libs and dlls to be placed in a folder called "lib", since that appears to be where cmake looks for them. (Although, I guess I could try to petition the cmake people to add looking for the libs in the new places, if it is deemed better to have the installer put them in folders like "lib64-msvc-10.0")
Sincerely Lars
The problem is that we want the 32 bit and 64 bit libraries to be able to be installed side-by-side on the same machine. Since nothing in the library name indicates that, we have to (at the very least) have two directories. The -msvc-X.X part isn't essential, but makes it nice if you have just a subset of them all installed, you can quickly see which versions you have (or remove an old one). Tom
