Hi,

I wanted to test some experimental features of Boost Spirit X3, so I tried
to install Boost from the "Modular Boost" Git repository, but without
success.

I followed the instructions on
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost and the b2 command
failed:

/home/wichtounet/src/modular-boost/tools/build/src/build/feature.jam:493:

I tried adding optimization=speed on the command line, but it didn't
changed a thing. I tried the master and develop branches.

Is there some configuration that is necessary ? Or is there another
procedure to follow ?

Thanks
