       Usage:

              b2 [options] [properties] [install|stage]

              Builds and installs Boost.

       Targets and Related Options:

       install
              Install headers and compiled library files to the

       =======
              configured locations (below).

       --prefix=<PREFIX>
              Install  architecture  independent files here.  Default; C:\Boost on Win32 Default;
              /usr/local on Unix. Linux, etc.

       --exec-prefix=<EPREFIX> Install architecture dependent files here.
              Default; <PREFIX>

       --libdir=<DIR>
              Install library files here.  Default; <EPREFIX>/lib

       --includedir=<HDRDIR>
              Install header files here.  Default; <PREFIX>/include

       stage  Build and install only compiled library files to the

       =====  stage directory.

       --stagedir=<STAGEDIR>
              Install library files here Default; ./stage

       Other Options:

       --build-type=<type>
              Build the specified pre-defined set of variations  of  the  libraries.  Note,  that
              which variants get built depends on what each library supports.

       -- minimal -- (default) Builds a minimal set of
              variants. On Windows, these are static multithreaded libraries in debug and release
              modes, using shared runtime. On Linux, these are static  and  shared  multithreaded
              libraries in release mode.

              -- complete -- Build all possible variations.

       --build-dir=DIR
              Build   in  this  location  instead  of  building  within  the  distribution  tree.
              Recommended!

       --show-libraries
              Display the list of Boost libraries that require build and installation steps,  and
              then exit.

       --layout=<layout>
              Determine  whether  to choose library names and header locations such that multiple
              versions of Boost or multiple compilers can be used on the same system.

       -- versioned -- Names of boost binaries include
              the Boost version number, name and  version  of  the  compiler  and  encoded  build
              properties.  Boost  headers  are installed in a subdirectory of <HDRDIR> whose name
              contains the Boost version number.

       -- tagged -- Names of boost binaries include the
              encoded build properties such as  variant  and  threading,  but  do  not  including
              compiler  name  and  version,  or Boost version. This option is useful if you build
              several variants of Boost, using the same compiler.

       -- system -- Binaries names do not include the
              Boost version number or the name and version number of the compiler. Boost  headers
              are   installed  directly  into  <HDRDIR>.  This  option  is  intended  for  system
              integrators building distribution packages.

       The default value is 'versioned' on Windows, and
              'system' on Unix.

       --buildid=ID
              Add the specified ID to the name of built libraries.  The default  is  to  not  add
              anything.

       --python-buildid=ID
              Add  the  specified  ID  to  the name of built libraries that depend on Python. The
              default is to not add anything. This ID is added in addition to --buildid.

       --help This message.

       --with-<library>
              Build and install the specified <library>. If this option is used,  only  libraries
              specified using this option will be built.

       --without-<library>
              Do  not build, stage, or install the specified <library>. By default, all libraries
              are built.

       Properties:

       toolset=toolset
              Indicate the toolset to build with.

       variant=debug|release
              Select the build variant

       link=static|shared
              Whether to build static or shared libraries

       threading=single|multi
              Whether to build single or multithreaded binaries

       runtime-link=static|shared
              Whether to link to static or shared C and C++ runtime.

       General command line usage:

              b2 [options] [properties] [targets]

              Options, properties and targets can be specified in any order.

       Important Options:
