# Building Boost from the Tip of Develop
|
|
|
|
To build Boost from the tip of the develop branch without cloning the entire
|
|
history, use the command below:
|
|
|
|
Linux:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cwd=$(pwd) \
|
|
&& cd ~ \
|
|
&& git clone -b develop --depth 1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules --jobs 8 https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git boost-develop-beta \
|
|
&& cd boost-develop-beta \
|
|
&& ./bootstrap.sh \
|
|
&& ./b2 install --prefix=boost-install cxxstd=17 \
|
|
&& echo "Boost successfully installed into $(realpath boost-install)!
|
|
Add this to your CMake toolchain file.
|
|
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH $(realpath boost-install))
|
|
" \
|
|
&& cd $cwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Windows (using plain Command Prompt):
|
|
```bat
|
|
cmd /v
|
|
set cwd=%cd% ^
|
|
&& cd %homepath% ^
|
|
&& git clone -b develop --depth 1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules --jobs 8 https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git boost-develop-beta ^
|
|
&& cd boost-develop-beta ^
|
|
&& bootstrap.bat ^
|
|
&& b2 install --prefix=boost-install cxxstd=17 address-model=64 ^
|
|
&& echo Boost successfully installed into !cd!\boost-install! ^
|
|
&& echo Add this to your CMake toolchain file. ^
|
|
&& echo list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH !cd:\=/!/boost-install) ^
|
|
&& cd !cwd! ^
|
|
&& exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: you can build Boost with a specific compiler by setting the toolset in
|
|
the `./b2` command above. To build with clang, specify `toolset=clang`; to build
|
|
with a specific version of gcc, clang or msvc, specify e.g. `toolset=gcc-12` for GCC
|
|
12, `clang-14` for Clang 14, `msvc-14.3` for MSVC 14.3. The value of `cxxstd`
|
|
can also be set to other values such as 11 for C++11, 14 for C++14, etc.
|
|
|
|
For more info on what's possible, check out this link on b2:

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/tools/build/doc/html/index.html#bbv2.overview.builtins.features
|
|
|
|
This should hopefully cover the two most common cases of building a dependency,
|
|
setting the compiler and C++ standard used.
