RE: [Boost-Users] boost install and library linking

Yes, but as of the last version I got from CVS (threads/Jamfile dated 
1/30/03) it put it in a folder [$(BOOST)/libs/thread/bin-stage] that is not 
common with other produced libs.  This is better than the gristed folders, 
but still not as useful or convenient as a top level common folder [like 
$(BOOST)/bin-stage].  When I need to specify in Linux where to look for 
shared libs, or when I want to add the .lib to link with in MSVC, I prefer 
the one-stop-shopping for all my boost libs.  Perhaps I'm just being lazy, 
but that is the mother of invention, after all ;).  I hear tell that the 
new v2 boost will have an "install" (don't know if it is a build target or 
something else) which will probably be far superior still.
