| To install Boost.Build from an official release or a nightly build, as |
| available on the <a href="http://boost.org/boost-build2" target="_top">official web site</a>, |
| follow these steps: |
| </p> |
| <div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| Unpack the release. On the command line, go to the root of the |
| unpacked tree. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| Run either <span class="command"><strong>.\bootstrap.bat</strong></span> (on Windows), or |
| <span class="command"><strong>./bootstrap.sh</strong></span> (on other operating systems). |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| Run |
| <pre class="screen">./bjam install --prefix=<em class="replaceable"><code>PREFIX</code></em></pre> |
| where <em class="replaceable"><code>PREFIX</code></em> is a directory where you |
| want Boost.Build to be installed. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| Optionally, add <code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>PREFIX</code></em>/bin</code> |
| to your <code class="envar">PATH</code> environment variable. |
| </li> |
| </ol></div> |
| <p>If you are not using Boost.Build package, but rather the version |
| bundled with the Boost C++ Libraries, the above commands should be run |
| in the <code class="filename">tools/build/v2</code> directory.</p> |
| <p> |
| Now that Boost.Build is installed, you can try some of examples. Copy |
| <code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>PREFIX</code></em>/share/boost-build/examples/hello</code> |
| to a different directory, then change to that directory and run: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="screen"><code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>PREFIX</code></em>/bin/bjam</code></pre> |
| <p> |
| A simple executable should be built. |
