       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 Windows Default: /usr/local on
              Unix, Linux, etc.

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

       --libdir=<LIBDIR>
              Install library files here.  Default: <EPREFIX>/lib

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

       --cmakedir=<CMAKEDIR>
              Install CMake configuration files here.  Default: <LIBDIR>/cmake

       --no-cmake-config
              Do not install CMake configuration files.

       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:
