[OPEN] Missing header files or incorrect path?

Hi - I just cloned the current master version and am trying a test compile of a "Hello world", just to check my basic installation is ok before i start working through the tutorial.

My problem is that a number of sub-include header files can not be found by asio.hpp 😕

Pre-compile error thrown cannot open source file "boost/config.hpp" (dependency of "boost/asio/associated_allocator.hpp")

The only config.hpp file that I can find resides in <project root dir>\asio\include\boost\asio\detail\config.hpp

Set up process I added latest master boostorg/asio.git following github instuctions on how work with submodules

git submodule add https://github.com/boostorg/asio.git asio

and recursively added the submodule beneath my project root directory

git submodule update --init --recursive

This has created the directory structure

<project root dir>/asio/include/boost/...

This issue was moved by chriskohlhoff from boostorg/asio#98.

From the boost website, I added the following files beneath the directory <project root dir>/asio/include/boost/

Ok, so I spent hours not getting a clean compile of a test program that simply included asio: Are there any install guides anywhere? I have tried finding something to no avail ... 😕

none that I have found, makes the whole asio thing feel like dark magic

I have the same problem! There is no file config.hpp in the directory boost

Some time this past year, Boost.Build was changed to automatically execute the "./b2 headers" step which it looks like you have have omitted. This would have caused your missing header in the past.
