Hi, thanks for your answer.

This command also does not copy bootstrap.*. Am I missing another command?

I think so, bcp copied filesystem, regex, python and thread.

Actually, I was using --boost=<path to boost include/libs>. Changing it to
--boost=<path to boost sources> made the libs dir to be copied too.

But now I'm getting a build error:

error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '../../filesystem/build//boost_filesystem'
error: referred from project at
error:     'libs/wave/build'

It seems the build script is missing something or did I miss some step?

Thanks,
