For other +operating systems and for more details on each step, refer to the +build2-toolchain installation documentation. + +build2 requires a C++14 compiler. GCC 4.9, Clang 3.7, and MSVC 14 (2015) Update +3 or any later versions of these compilers are known to work. The build system +is self-hosted, which means that unless you have obtained a pre-built binary +from somewhere else, you will need to bootstrap it. To accomplish this, we use +the bootstrap.sh shell script (or equivalent batch files for Windows) found in +the root directory of the build2 distribution. On UNIX-like operating systems +as well as on Windows with MinGW or Clang, a GNU make makefile called +bootstrap.gmake can also be used with the major advanage over the script being +support for parallel compilation and an out of tree build (see comments inside +the makefile for more information). + +The following is the recommended sequence of steps: + +0. Prerequisites + + Get libbutl (normally from the same place where you got build2) and place + it inside build2, so that you have: + + build2-X.Y.Z + | + `-- libbutl-X.Y.Z + +1. Bootstrap, Phase 1 + + First, we build a minimal build system using bootstrap.sh (run bootstrap.sh + -h for options): + + $ cd build2-X.Y.Z + $ ./bootstrap.sh g++ + + $ build2/b-boot --version + + Alternatively, we can use the bootstrap.gmake makefile: + + $ cd build2-X.Y.Z + $ make -f bootstrap.gmake -j 8 CXX=g++ + + $ build2/b-boot --version + + If you would prefer to bootstrap out of source tree, this is supported by + the makefile (but not the script): + + $ mkdir build2-boot + $ make -C build2-boot -f ../build2-X.Y.Z/bootstrap.gmake -j 8 CXX=g++ + + $ build2-boot/build2/b-boot --version + +2. Bootstrap, Phase 2 + + Then, we rebuild the build system with the result of Phase 1 linking + libraries statically. + + $ build2/b-boot config.cxx=g++ config.bin.lib=static build2/exe{b} + $ mv build2/b build2/b-boot + + $ build2/b-boot --version + + Or, alternatively, for an out of source build: + + $ build2-boot/build2/b-boot config.cxx=g++ config.bin.lib=static \ + build2-X.Y.Z/build2/@build2-static/build2/exe{b} + + $ build2-static/build2/b --version + +3. Build and Install + + Finally, we configure, build, and optionally install the "final" version + using shared libraries: + + $ build2/b-boot configure \ + config.config.hermetic=true \ + config.cxx=g++ \ + config.cc.coptions=-O3 \ + config.bin.rpath=/usr/local/lib \ + config.install.root=/usr/local \ + config.install.sudo=sudo + + $ build2/b-boot + + | The config.config.hermetic=true configuration variable in the first + | command makes sure the embedded ~host and ~build2 configurations include + | the current environment. This is especially important for ~build2 which + | is used to dynamically build and load ad hoc recipes and build system + | modules and must therefore match the environment that was used to build + | the build system itself. + + If you are only interested in installing the result, then you can avoid + building tests by specifying the update-for-install operation in the last + command: + + $ build2/b-boot update-for-install + + On the other hand, if I you are not planning to install the result, then + you can omit the config.install.* values as well as .rpath. + + To install: + + $ build2/b-boot install + $ which b + $ b --version + + To uninstall: + + $ b uninstall + $ which b + + Or, alternatively, for an out of source build: + + $ build2-static/build2/b configure: build2-X.Y.Z/@build2-shared/ \ + config.config.hermetic=true \ + config.cxx=g++ \ + config.cc.coptions=-O3 \ + config.bin.rpath=/usr/local/lib \ + config.install.root=/usr/local \ + config.install.sudo=sudo + + $ build2-static/build2/b update-for-install: build2-shared/ + + $ build2-static/build2/b install: build2-shared/ + + $ b uninstall: build2-shared/ + + For distribution packaging it is often required to install "as if" into the + system directory (for example, /usr) but to copy the files somewhere else + (for example, /tmp/install/usr; aka the DESTDIR functionality).
