              Project has jamfile at Jamroot

       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.

       Configuration help:

              Configuration file at /build/buildd/boost1.54-1.54.0/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

              This file is used to configure your Boost.Build installation. You can modify

       this  file  in  place, or you can place it in a permanent location so that it does not get
       overwritten should you get a new version of Boost.Build. See:

              http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html

       for documentation about possible permanent locations.

       General command line usage:

              b2 [options] [properties] [targets]

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

       Important Options:

              * --clean Remove targets instead of building * -a Rebuild  everything  *  -n  Don't
              execute  the  commands, only print them * -d+2 Show commands as they are executed *
              -d0 Supress all informational messages * -q Stop at  first  error  *  --reconfigure
              Rerun  all  configuration  checks  * --debug-configuration Diagnose configuration *
              --debug-building  Report  which  targets  are  built   with   what   properties   *
              --debug-generator Diagnose generator search/execution

       Further Help:
