The Boost libraries come with their own build tool Boost.Build. While Boost.Build was developed for the Boost libraries, it can be used for any C++ project. Many developers struggle though to setup Boost.Build for C++ their projects due to the lack of documentation. This session will provide a complete overview on Boost.Jam and Boost.Build. It will explain the difference of Boost.Jam and Boost.Build and how configuration files – so-called Jamfiles – are used to setup projects. It will introduce Boost.Jam language constructs and Boost.Build concepts like targets and features. It will also explain how Boost.Build decides what to build how and how generators are used to extend the build tool. The presentation will be given from a user’s point of view and will provide all the information developers need to easily setup Boost.Build for their own projects. Less
