| <p>Boost.Build makes it easy to build C++ projects, everywhere. |
| |
| <p> |
| 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> |
| <b>Simple and high level build description</b>. In most |
| cases a name of target and list of sources is all you need. |
| |
| <p> |
| <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? |
| |
| <p><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. |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-6"> |
| <p> |
| <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. |
| |
| <p> |
| <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. |
| |
| <p> |
| <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 Boost C++ Libraries. |
