BOOST_ROOT ---------- Several places in the documentation and examples refer to the top-level directory of the Boost source tree as "BOOST_ROOT". Typically, this is used to refer to example code ("BOOST_ROOT/libs/program_options/example directory") or to a documentation file ("$BOOST_ROOT/doc/html"). Most such references may be found by looking either in /usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples or in /usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML. In rare cases, you may need to obtain the source tree itself to find the file. -- Steve M. Robbins , Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:10:55 -0500
