Building with Boost.Build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you don't already have Boost.Build set up on your system, follow the steps
indicated in the Boost Getting Started Guide [#]_ -- you will particularly want
to copy the ``bjam`` executable to a directory that is already in your ``PATH``
so that you don't have to go hunting for it all the time. A good place to put it
is in ``/usr/local/bin``.

.. [#] http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/
Building and running the tests can be as simple as doing the following::

$ cd ~/cpp-netlib
$ bjam

Doing this will already build all the tests and run them as they are built. In
case you encounter any problems and would like to report it to the developers,
please do the following::

$ cd ~/cpp-netlib
$ bjam 2>&1 >build-test.log

And then attach the ``build-test.log`` file to the email you will send to the
cpp-netlib `developers mailing list`_.
