There seem to be a problem with copying of submodule headers when building boost from git on Windows. I get a _lot_ of "error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/config/user.hpp': No such file or directory" when attempting to build Boost with VS2012. Manual copying of user.hpp (as well as other "missing" headers) does solve the problem, but this should not be necessary.
Right. This is handled by b2, though not automagically right now.
Steps to reproduce: 1: Create a clean Boost git working-copy with all submodules. 2: bootstrap.bat
You are missing
2a: b2 headers
3: b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared variant=debug toolset=msvc-11.0
Any ideas for how to avoid this problem?
See the documentation at
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost
for furhter details.
Thanks a lot Jürgen. It would be great if b2 could be improved to do this automatically. Fredrik
