Thread: Mid-level example of using bjam outside of boost
Mid-level example of using bjam outside of boost

    Hello - 

    I'm looking for a nice mid-level example of a bjam project outside of boost, which uses boost.  All of the examples listed in the documentation are very simple and CANNED.  I want to know exactly what pieces I need in order for me to build, w/o dragging in the entire tools/build/v2 directory.


    From reading the documentation, and looking at the bjam files created within boost, there is a fair amount of inconsistency on what one might consider to be "best-practices"...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...    


-Tim

What do you mean by CANNED ? Do you mean everything below
boost root?
If so, try to take the tools/build/v2/example/libraries as a
starting 
point.
1) Move it outside the tree.
2) Make sure either you have BOOST_BUILD_PATH pointing to
    .../tools/build/v2, have a boost-build.jam pointing
there,
    or have the boost-build package (if you are on debian)
installed.
3) Using boost libraries: If you want to be platform
independent
    you currently have only one option: installing the
source tree.
    Then in your Jamroot: "use-project boost :
insert_path_to_boost"
4) Linking to boost libraries from bjam in a platform
independent
    way is being worked on.

Unfortunately true. This for the most part stems from the
draft nature 
of the Boost.Build manual I guess.

    >From what you are telling me it appears that I need to grab all which is in tools/build/v2 in order to build.  That's fine, I'm willing to bite that dep.  However it would be very useful if there was a step by step process somewhere which outlines how-to setup a project.  


It would also be nice if there were some open source projects which use bjam which I could reference.  After looking at (N) bjam files I can usually gleen the forest through the trees.

So if you know of any other projects which I can look  that would be *useful*
