NAME
B2 - software build tool

DESCRIPTION
B2 5.2.1 (OS=LINUX, jobs=4)

Project-specific help:

    Project has jamfile at Jamroot

Usage:

    b2 [options] [properties] [install|stage]

    Builds and installs Boost.

Targets and Related Options:

install
    Install headers and compiled library files to the

=======
    configured locations (below).

--prefix=<PREFIX>
    Install architecture independent files here. Default: C:\Boost on Windows Default: /usr/local on Unix, Linux, etc.

--exec-prefix=<EPREFIX> Install architecture dependent files here.
    Default: <PREFIX>

--libdir=<LIBDIR>
    Install library files here. Default: <EPREFIX>/lib

--includedir=<HDRDIR>
    Install header files here. Default: <PREFIX>/include

--cmakedir=<CMAKEDIR>
    Install CMake configuration files here. Default: <LIBDIR>/cmake

--no-cmake-config
    Do not install CMake configuration files.

stage
    Build and install only compiled library files to the

=====
    stage directory.

--stagedir=<STAGEDIR>
    Install library files here Default: ./stage

Other Options:

--build-type=<type>
    Build the specified pre-defined set of variations of the libraries. Note, that which variants get built depends on what each library supports.

-- minimal -- (default) Builds a minimal set of
    variants. On Windows, these are static multithreaded libraries in debug and release modes, using shared runtime. On Linux, these are static and shared multithreaded libraries in release mode.

    -- complete -- Build all possible variations.

--build-dir=DIR
    Build in this location instead of building within the distribution tree. Recommended!

--show-libraries
    Display the list of Boost libraries that require build and installation steps, and then exit.

--layout=<layout>
    Determine whether to choose library names and header locations such that multiple versions of Boost or multiple compilers can be used on the same system.

-- versioned -- Names of boost binaries include
    the Boost version number, name and version of the compiler and encoded build properties. Boost headers are installed in a subdirectory of <HDRDIR> whose name contains the Boost version number.

-- tagged -- Names of boost binaries include the
    encoded build properties such as variant and threading, but do not including compiler name and version, or Boost version. This option is useful if you build several variants of Boost, using the same compiler.

-- system -- Binaries names do not include the
    Boost version number or the name and version number of the compiler. Boost headers are installed directly into <HDRDIR>. This option is intended for system integrators building distribution packages.

The default value is 'versioned' on Windows, and
    'system' on Unix.

--buildid=ID
    Add the specified ID to the name of built libraries. The default is to not add anything.

--python-buildid=ID
    Add the specified ID to the name of built libraries that depend on Python. The default is to not add anything. This ID is added in addition to --buildid.

--help
    This message.

--with-<library>
    Build and install the specified <library>. If this option is used, only libraries specified using this option will be built.

--without-<library>
    Do not build, stage, or install the specified <library>. By default, all libraries are built.

Properties:

toolset=toolset
    Indicate the toolset to build with.

variant=debug|release
    Select the build variant

link=static|shared
    Whether to build static or shared libraries

threading=single|multi
    Whether to build single or multithreaded binaries

runtime-link=static|shared
    Whether to link to static or shared C and C++ runtime.

General command line usage:

    b2 [options] [properties] [targets]

    Options, properties and targets can be specified in any order.

Important Options:

    * --clean Remove targets instead of building * -a Rebuild everything * -n Don't execute the commands, only print them * -d+2 Show commands as they are executed * -d0 Suppress all informational messages * -q Stop at first error * --reconfigure Rerun all configuration checks * --durations[=N] Report top N targets by execution time * --debug-configuration Diagnose configuration * --debug-building Report which targets are built with what properties * --debug-generator Diagnose generator search/execution

Further Help:

    The following options can be used to obtain additional documentation.

    * --help-options Print more obscure command line options. * --help-internal B2 implementation details. * --help-doc-options Implementation details doc formatting.
