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. + + <p>Some of the most important features: + <ul> + <li><b>Simple and high level build description</b>. In most + cases a name of target and list of sources is all you need.</li> + + <li><b>Portability</b>. Most important build properties have symbolic + names that work everywhere. Why memorize compiler flags necessary + for multi-threaded 64-bit shared library, if Boost.Build can do it for you? + + <li><b>Variant builds</b>. 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.</li> + + <li><b>Global dependencies</b>. No matter what directory you build + in, Boost.Build will always check all dependencies in your entire + project, preventing inconsistent binaries. And it's easy to + use one Boost.Build project in other, again with full dependency + tracking. + + <li><b>Usage requirements</b>. 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.</li> + + <li><b>Standalone</b>. Boost.Build's only dependency is a C compiler, + so it's easy to setup. You can even include all of Boost.Build in your + project. Boost.Build does not depend on C++ Boost in any way.</li> + </ul> + + <h2>Status and future</h2> + + <p>Boost.Build is ready to use today, and new features are being actively + developed. + + <p>The current version of 2.0 Milestone 12, which added support for + precompiled headers on gcc, and added 3 new C++ compilers + (<a href="http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/changes.txt">full changelog</a>). + + <p>Milestone 13 is planned as bugfix release. Milestone 14 will + focus on improving user documentation. Milestone 15 will see most + of Boost.Build reimplemented in Python, to make extending + Boost.Build even easier for end users (see <a href="https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/PythonPort">PythonPort</a>). + The specific issues planned for each release can be found on the + <a href="https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build/roadmap">roadmap</a>. + + + + <h2>Feedback and contributing</h2> + + <p>Should you have any questions or comments, we'd be glad to hear them. + Post everything to the <a href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-build">mailing list</a>.</p> + + <p>Bugs and feature requests can be entered at our + <a href="https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build">bug tracker</a>. + + <p>If you'd like to help with development, just pick a bug + in the tracker that you'd like to fix, or feel free to implement + any feature you like.
