The rest of this section discusses a few general bootstrap considerations and then directs you to the appropriate platform-specific instructions. +In the rest of this guide we use the \c{$} symbol for a UNIX shell prompt and +\c{>} for the Windows command prompt. Similarly, we use \c{\\} for UNIX +command line continuations and \c{^} for Windows. Usually you should be able +to copy and paste (sans the prompt) example commands in order to execute them +but sometimes you might need to change a thing or two (for example, replace +\c{X.Y.Z} with the actual version). Once we are able to use the \c{build2} +toolchain, the command line interface becomes regular and we usually only show +the UNIX version of the commands. In this case making a Windows version is +a simple matter of adjusting paths and, if used, line continuations. + The \c{build2} toolchain requires a C++14 compiler.
