Project description language ============================ std::target_platform:: namespace describes the target platform target_platform::is_windows bool true if and only if the target platform is windows ex : if (std::target_platform::is_windows) ... target_platform::is_macosx bool true if and only if the target platform is mac os x ex : if (std::target_platform::is_macosx) ... std::host_platform:: namespace describes the host platform std::host::is_windows bool true if and only if the target platform is windows ex : if (std::host_platform::is_windows) ... std::host::is_macosx bool true if and only if the target platform is mac os x ex : if (std::host_platform::is_macosx) ... std:: namespace describes a number of standard components std::boost:: namespace describes the boost components std::boost::lexical_cast component the lexical_cast boost library ex : executable.use(std::boost::lexical_cast); Options for the build configuration cache ========================================= default.includesearchpaths string or list of strings paths to look for when trying to find include directories for components ex: default.includesearchpaths="/home/me/usr/include");
