Experimenting with Modular Boost
Prerequisites
- Git command line client installed
- A C++ compiler installed
Installing Modular Boost
From the command line:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git modular-boost
Warning: The build tools are not working as of the moment, so the remaining instructions on this page don't work yet.
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.
