<p>
Installing <code class="literal">BJam</code> after building it is simply a matter of
copying the generated executables someplace in your <code class="literal">PATH</code>.
For building the executables there are a set of <code class="literal">build</code> bootstrap
scripts to accomodate particular environments. The scripts take one optional
argument, the name of the toolset to build with. When the toolset is not given
an attempt is made to detect an available toolset and use that. The build scripts
accept these arguments:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>build</em></span> [<span class="emphasis"><em>toolset</em></span>]
</pre>
<p>
Running the scripts without arguments will give you the best chance of success.
On Windows platforms from a command console do:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">cd <span class="emphasis"><em>jam source location</em></span>
.\build.bat
</pre>
<p>
On Unix type platforms do:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">cd <span class="emphasis"><em>jam source location</em></span>
sh ./build.sh
</pre>
<p>
For the Boost.Jam source included with the Boost distribution the <span class="emphasis"><em>jam
source location</em></span> is <code class="literal">BOOST_ROOT/tools/jam/src</code>.
</p>
<p>
If the scripts fail to detect an appropriate toolset to build with your particular
toolset may not be auto-detectable. In that case, you can specify the toolset
as the first argument, this assumes that the toolset is readily available in
the <code class="literal">PATH</code>.

<p>
The built executables are placed in a subdirectory specific to your platform.
For example, in Linux running on an Intel x86 compatible chip, the executables
are placed in: "<code class="literal">bin.linuxx86</code>". The <code class="literal">bjam[.exe]</code>
executable can be used to invoke Boost.Build.
</p>
<p>
The build scripts support additional invocation arguments for use by developers
of Boost.Jam. The extra arguments come after the toolset, and can take the
form of "<code class="literal">--option</code>" or targets for the <code class="literal">build.jam</code>
script:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>build</em></span> [<span class="emphasis"><em>toolset</em></span>] [--<span class="emphasis"><em>option</em></span>+ <span class="emphasis"><em>target</em></span>*]
</pre>
<p>
There is currently only one available option, "<code class="literal">--debug</code>",
which builds debugging versions of the executable. When built they are placed
in their own directory "<code class="literal">bin./platform/.debug</code>".
To specify targets without options, one can suply a special ignore option "<code class="literal">---</code>".
</p>
<p>
Currently there are two targets supported: <code class="literal">dist</code>, and <code class="literal">clean</code>.
Respectively they: generate packages (compressed archives) as appropriate for
distribution in the platform, or remove all the built executables and objects.
