|

106 | This package can be built with several jobs running in parallel. In
|
---|
107 | the instructions below, <parameter><N></parameter> stands for the
|
---|
108 | number of jobs. Install <application>Boost</application> by running the
|
---|
109 | following commands:
|
---|
110 | </para>
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 |

113 | <screen><userinput>./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr --with-python=python3 &&

|
---|
115 |
|
---|
116 | <para>
|
---|
117 | To run the Boost.Build's regression test, issue
|
---|
118 | <command>pushd tools/build/test; python3 test_all.py; popd</command>.
|
---|
119 | With python-3.10.x all 168 tests should pass. With
|
---|
120 | <xref linkend='python3'/>, 20 tests fail for undetermined reasons.
|
---|
121 | </para>
|
---|
122 |
|

123 | <para>
|
---|
124 | To run every library's regression tests, issue <command>pushd status;
|
---|
125 | ../b2; popd</command>. A few tests may fail. They take a very long time
|
---|
126 | (over 119 SBU at -j4) and use a very large amount of disk space
|
---|
127 | (46 GB). You should use the <parameter>-jN</parameter> switch to
|
---|
128 | speed them up.

131 | <note>
|

132 | <para>
|

133 | Boost installs many versioned directories in /usr/lib/cmake.
|
---|
134 | If a new version of <application>Boost</application> is installed over a
|
---|
135 | previous version, the older cmake directories need to be
|
---|
136 | explicitly removed. To do this, run as the
|
---|
137 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
|
---|
138 | </para>
|
---|
139 |

160 | <para>
|
---|
161 | <parameter>threading=multi</parameter>: This parameter ensures that

162 | <application>Boost</application> is built with multithreading support.

163 | </para>
|
---|
164 |
|
---|
165 | <para>
|

166 | <parameter>link=shared</parameter>: This parameter ensures that only

167 | shared libraries are created, except for libboost_exception and
|
---|
168 | libboost_test_exec_monitor which are created as static. Most people
|
---|
169 | will not need the static libraries, and most programs using
|
---|
170 | <application>Boost</application> only use the headers. Omit
|
---|
171 | this parameter if you do need static libraries.

173 |
