[boost] "Easy Build and Install" fails at bootstrap.sh

[Josh Juran]

I'm building Boost from Git since there's no secured download option, only HTTP.

josh@alice:~/src/boost$ git log --oneline -n1
43bb782 Update thread from master.

josh@alice:~/src/boost$ ./bootstrap.sh
./bootstrap.sh: 1: ./bootstrap.sh: ./tools/build/src/engine/build.sh: not found
Building Boost.Build engine with toolset ...
Failed to build Boost.Build build engine
Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details

josh@alice:~/src/boost$ cat bootstrap.log
./bootstrap.sh: 218: cd: can't cd to ./tools/build/src/engine

Do I need to run git-submodule? It would be helpful if Getting Started covered this.

Josh

Yeah, run "git submodule update --init" to checkout the git
sub-modules for the individual Boost libraries.

Alternatively, you can use the following command to clone the boost
repo along with all of the sub-modules:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git

Cheers,
Kyle

Boost latest release as a single git repo:
https://github.com/ned14/boost-release.git

Boost release as a HTTPS download:
https://github.com/ned14/boost-release/archive/master.zip

If you need a specific version:
https://github.com/ned14/boost-release/releases

The sourceforge downloads are https:// for me...I'm not sure why they
aren't for you.

I've been signing the sha-256 sums of the windows binaries with my GPG key,
maybe we should have the release team do something similar for the source
releases?
