Building Boost.Build engine


1) ./bootstrap.bat

2) look at project-config.jam, and set the path to visual studio:

import option ; 

using msvc : 14.0 : "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.10.24728\bin\HostX64\x64\cl.exe"; 

option.set keep-going : false ;

3) Run b2 from the visual studio command prompt

32bit: b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=32 --build-type=complete stage install
64bit: b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 --build-type=complete stage install

rem this output its results into c:\boost 
rem however, static libs are found in a boost-subdirectory and must be copied manually

- boost 1.63: see the install.sh in the boost archive
    - install visual studio 2015 
    - open developer console (cmd.exe + run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat)
    - unzip boost_1_63_0.zip to c:\downloads\boost_1_63_0
    - cd c:\downloads\boost_1_63_0
    - run c:\downloads\boost_1_63_0\bootstrap.bat (~1 minute)
    - b2.exe --build-type=complete stage install (~45 minutes)
    - find the results in c:\boost
    - copy C:\boost\include\boost-1_63\boost -> DebugViewpp\Libraries\boost\boost
    - copy C:\Boost\lib -> DebugViewPP\Libraries\Boost\lib\win32
    - for some reason I have to copy boost_1_63_0\stage\lib\*.* to \Libraries\boost\lib\win32\*.* to get the vc???-mt-sgd libraries.
    - "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\setenv.cmd" /Release /x64
    - b2.exe address-model=64 --build-type=complete stage install
    - copy C:\Boost\lib -> DebugViewPP\Libraries\Boost\lib\x64
