[odb-users] How to execute odb-compiler without installing build2

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Mike,

If the other developers do not have the ODB, then they cannot reproduce 
the C++ files.  It means that only you can use ODB, then check-in the 
resultant C++ files for the other developers.

Regards,

Tony

So, the odb compiler (odb.exe) fails. It works on my system because I installed build2 which creates the /bin folder with all of the support binaries and executables including g++.exe.
