with the Boost.Coroutine library. Please visit the Boost documentation
for instructions on how to do this for your particular build system.
For the examples and tests, Beast provides build scripts for Boost.Build
(bjam) and CMake (Windows). It is possible to generate Microsoft Visual
Studio project files using CMake by executing these commands from
the root of the repository:
To build the documentation, examples, tests, and benchmarks it is
necessary to first obtain the boost "superproject" along with all
of the boost libraries. Instructions for doing so may be found on
the [Boost Wiki](https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Getting-Started).
These commamnds will build the programs and documentation that come
with Beast (omit the cxxflags parameter when building using MSVC):
```
cd boost # The directory containing the boost superproject and libraries
b2 libs/beast/test cxxflags="-std=c++11" # bjam must be in your $PATH
b2 libs/beast/example cxxflags="-std=c++11"
b2 libs/beast/doc
```
On Windows platforms only, CMake may be used to generate a Visual Studio
solution and a set of Visual Studio project files using these commands:
```
cd boost # The directory containing the boost superproject and libraries
cd libs/beast
mkdir bin
cd bin
cmake .. # for 32-bit Windows builds
cd ..
mkdir bin64
cd bin64
cmake -G"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" .. # for 64-bit Windows builds (VS2015)
cmake .. # for 32-bit Windows builds, or
cmake -G"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" .. # for 64-bit Windows builds (VS2015), or
cmake -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" .. # for 64-bit Windows builds (VS2017)
```
