build instructions

[rjpower]

Hey Oliver,

This seems like a really interesting project - I'm keen to try it out, but I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the boost/jam build system - the obvious commands I've tried out don't seem to work so well.

It might make sense to add a few lines to the README indicating how to run bjam on the project (or a shell script that does the same), for those of us less gifted with boost :)

Thanks!

Hello Russell,

thanks for your suggestion - the boost libraries in my git repo are adapted to the new boost structure.
You can find detailed instructions at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost.

git clone http://github.com/boostorg/boost modular-boost
cd modular-boost
git submodule update --init
cd libs
git clone http://github.com/olk/boost-fiber fiber
cd ..
cmake -P forward_headers.cmake
./bootstrap.sh
cp b2 /usr/local/bin
cd libs/fiber/test
b2

I'll add the description to README.md.

BTW, boost.fiber is not ready yet - unfortunately it contains a raise if a fiber is move to another thread.
I need more time to find the cause for this raise condition.

best,
Oliver

Thanks for the quick reply. For my purposes, I'm okay with having fibers on a single thread. I'll try it out soon and let you know!
