Continuing from \l{#BOOTSTRAP-WINDOWS Bootstrapping on Windows}, if you have
already started an appropriate Visual Studio command prompt, then you can
continue using it. Otherwise, start the \"x64 Native Tools Command Prompt\" if
you are on 64-bit Windows or \"x86 Native Tools Command Prompt\" if you are on
32-bit. Also set the \c{PATH} environment variable:

\
> set PATH=C:\build2\bin;%PATH%
\

To build with MSVC you can either perform the following steps manually or, if
after reviewing the steps you are happy with using the defaults, run the
\c{build-msvc.bat} batch file. It performs (and echoes) the same set of steps
as outlined below but only allows you to customize the installation directory
and a few other things (run \c{build-msvc.bat /?} for usage).

For example, you could run this batch file (from the above-mentioned command
prompt) like this:

\
> .\build-msvc.bat
\

\N|Note that at about half way through (\c{bpkg fetch} at step 4 below) the
script will stop and prompt you to verify the authenticity of the repository
certificate. To run the script unattended you can specify the certificate
fingerprint with the \c{--trust} option (see \c{build-msvc.bat /?} for
details).|

The end result of the bootstrap process (performed either with the script or
manually) is the installed toolchain as well as the \c{bpkg} configuration in
\c{build2-toolchain-X.Y\\} that can be used to \l{#UPGRADE upgrade} to newer
versions. It can also be used to uninstall the toolchain:

\
> cd build2-toolchain-X.Y
> bpkg uninstall build2 bpkg
\

\N|Note that in both cases (manual or scripted bootstrap), if something goes
wrong and you need to restart the process, you \b{must} start with a clean
toolchain source by unpacking it afresh from the archive.|

The rest of this section outlines the manual bootstrap process.

\dl|

\li|\b{1. Bootstrap, Phase 1}\n

First, we build a minimal build system with the provided
\c{bootstrap-msvc.bat} batch file. Normally, the only argument you will pass
to this script is the C++ compiler to use but there is also a way to specify
compile options; run \c{bootstrap-msvc.bat /?} and see the \c{build2\\INSTALL}
file for details.

\
> cd build2
> .\bootstrap-msvc.bat cl

> build2\b-boot --version
\

|

\li|\n\b{2. Bootstrap, Phase 2}\n

Then, we rebuild the build system with the result of Phase 1 linking libraries
statically.

\
> build2\b-boot config.cxx=cl config.bin.lib=static build2\exe{b}
> move /y build2\b.exe build2\b-boot.exe

> build2\b-boot --version
\

|

\li|\n\b{3. Stage}\n

At this step the build system and package manager are built with shared
libraries and then staged:

\
> cd ..  # Back to build2-toolchain-X.Y.Z\

> build2\build2\b-boot configure      ^
  config.cxx=cl                       ^
  config.bin.suffix=-stage            ^
  config.install.root=C:\build2       ^
  config.install.data_root=root\stage

> build2\build2\b-boot install: build2/ bpkg/
\

The strange-looking \c{config.install.data_root=root\\stage} means install
data files (as opposed to executable files) into the \c{stage\\} subdirectory
of wherever \c{config.install.root} points to (so in our case it will be
\c{C:\\build2\\stage\\}). This subdirectory is temporary and will be removed
in a few steps.

Verify that the toolchain binaries can be found and work (this relies on the
\c{PATH} environment variable we have set earlier):

\
> where b-stage
C:\build2\bin\b-stage.exe

> where bpkg-stage
C:\build2\bin\bpkg-stage.exe

> b-stage --version
> bpkg-stage --version
\

At the next step we will use \c{bpkg} to build and install the entire
toolchain. If for some reason you prefer not to build from packages (for
example, because the machine is offline), then you can convert this step into
the \"final\" installation and skip the rest. For this you will need to change
the \c{configure} and \c{install} command lines above along these lines:

\
> build2\build2\b-boot configure ^
  config.cxx=cl                  ^
  config.cc.coptions=/O2         ^
  config.install.root=C:\build2

> build2\build2\b-boot install: build2/ bpkg/ bdep/
\

|

\li|\n\b{4. Install}\n

Next, we use the staged tools to build and install the entire toolchain from
the package repository with the \c{bpkg} package manager. First, we create
the \c{bpkg} configuration. The configuration values are pretty similar to the
previous step and you may want/need to make similar adjustments.

\
> cd ..  # Back to build2-build\
> md build2-toolchain-X.Y
> cd build2-toolchain-X.Y

> bpkg-stage create             ^
  cc                            ^
  config.cxx=cl                 ^
  config.cc.coptions=/O2        ^
  config.install.root=C:\build2
\

Next, we add the package repository, build, and install:

\
> bpkg-stage add https://pkg.cppget.org/1/alpha
> bpkg-stage fetch
> bpkg-stage build --for install build2 bpkg bdep
> bpkg-stage install build2 bpkg bdep
\

Finally, we verify the result:

\
> where b
C:\build2\bin\b.exe

> where bpkg
C:\build2\bin\bpkg.exe

> where bdep
C:\build2\bin\bdep.exe

> b --version
> bpkg --version
> bdep --version
\

|

\li|\n\b{5. Clean}\n

The last thing we need to do is uninstall the staged tools:

\
> cd ..\build2-toolchain-X.Y.Z  # Back to bootstrap.
> b uninstall: build2/ bpkg/
