 <!--    <h1>Boost.Build V2</h1> -->


     <h2>Overview</h2>

     <p>Boost.Build is an easy way to build C++ projects, everywhere. 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. There's a separate
     <a href="hacking.txt">guidelines document</a> for working on code.</p>
