Description: cross-platform build system for C++ projects
Boost.Build is an easy way to build C++ projects, everywhere. You
name you executables and libraries and list their
sources. Boost.Build takes care about compiling your sources with
right options, creating static and shared libraries, making
executables, and other chores -- whether you're using gcc, msvc, or a
dozen more supported C++ compilers -- on Windows, OSX, Linux and
commercial UNIX systems.
.
Some of the most important features:
.
* Simple and high level build description.
* Portability. Most important build properties have symbolic names that
work everywhere.
* Variant builds. When you build the same project twice with different
properties, all produced files are placed in different directories,
so you can build with 2 versions of gcc, or both debug and
release variants in one invocation.
* Global dependencies. No matter what directory you build in, Boost.Build
will always check all dependencies in your entire project, preventing
inconsistent binaries.
* Usage requirements. A target can specify properties, like include paths
and preprocessor defines, that are necessary to use it. Those properties
will be automatically applied whenever the target is used.
