Experimenting with Modular Boost
The procedure described below will likely change between now and the actual conversion.
Prerequisites
- Git command line client installed
- A C++ compiler installed
- CMake installed
Installing Modular Boost
From the command line:
git clone http://github.com/boost-lib/boost modular-boost cd modular-boost git submodule update --init cmake -P forward_headers.cmake
From this point on, modularized Boost behaves a lot like pre-modularized Boost.
Experimenting
If you want to build b2 and Boost source libraries, run the usual command line script. For Windows, that would be:
bootstrap .\b2
For POSIX-like systems, it is probably:
./bootstrap.sh ./b2
If b2 isn't already in your path, you probably want to add it now.
Testing is done just the way it has always been done. For example,
cd libs/system/test b2
should run the tests for Boost.system, all of which should pass.
