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

|

116 |
|
---|
117 | <para>
|
---|
118 | To run the Boost.Build's regression test, issue
|
---|
119 | <command>pushd tools/build/test; python3 test_all.py; popd</command>.
|
---|
120 | All 168 tests should pass.
|

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.

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:

161 | <para>
|
---|
162 | <parameter>threading=multi</parameter>: This parameter ensures that
|
---|
163 | <application>Boost</application> is built with multithreading support.
|
---|
164 | </para>
|
---|
165 |
|
---|
166 | <para>
|
---|
167 | <parameter>link=shared</parameter>: This parameter ensures that only
|
---|
168 | shared libraries are created, except for libboost_exception and
|
---|
169 | libboost_test_exec_monitor which are created as static. Most people
|
---|
170 | will not need the static libraries, and most programs using
|
---|
171 | <application>Boost</application> only use the headers. Omit
|
---|
172 | this parameter if you do need static libraries.

174 |
|

175 | <para>
|
---|
176 | <option>-jN</option>: This switch may be added to the

177 | <command>b2</command> command lines, to run up to N processes in
|
---|
178 | parallel.

|
---|
180 |
|
---|
181 | <para>
|

182 | <option>--with-python=python3</option>: Add this switch to the <command>
|
---|
183 | bootstrap</command> command, if you want Boost
|
---|
184 | to use Python3 instead of Python2. Using Python3 is known to cause the
|
---|
185 | installation to fail on some systems.
