       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/boost1.55-1.55.0/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:

              *  --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
