Hi, TL;TR: A rant I've been looking for documentation about purpose of command b2 headers Greping for headers or modular inside /tools/build/doc and /doc gives me nothing, so I blindly assume the unsearchable https://www.boost.org/build/ does not explain it either. The magic of https://www.google.com/search?q="b2+headers" brought this page to my attention: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/tools/boostdep/doc/html/ where, to my surprise, I find one of best intro to the concept of modular Boost including very helpful explanation of the virtual /boost directory and role of b2 headers command. Why this kind of information is presented in docs for somewhat exotic to Boost (end)users command, I have no idea. But, as long-time Boost.Build users, I dare to judge this is an excellent example of why peole hate this awesome build system :) Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-build
