GCC 4.8 or later -and Clang 3.4 or later are known to work. - -build2 is self-hosted, which means that unless you have obtained a pre-built -binary from somewhere else, you will need to bootstrap it. To accomplish this, -use the 'bootstrap' shell script found in the root directory of the build2 -distribution. The following is the recommended sequence of steps: - -1. Prerequisites - - Get libbutl and place it next to build2, so that you have: - - libbutl/ (or libbutl-X.Y.Z/) - build2/ (or build2-X.Y.Z/) - -2. Bootstrapping - - Change to the build2/ directory and execute bootstrap specifying the C++ - compiler to be used, if necessary (default is g++; run ./bootstrap --help - for other options). For example: - - $ cd build2/ - $ ./bootstrap --cxx clang++-3.5 - - Once the script completes successfully (which may take some time), the - build2 binary is saved as build2/b-boot: - - $ build2/b-boot --version - -3. Rebuilding - - Next, build libbutl and the build2 binary using the bootstrapped binary - from step 2: - - $ build2/b-boot 'configure(../libbutl/)' - $ build2/b-boot config.import.libbutl=../libbutl configure update - - Again, if necessary, you can also specify the C++ compiler: - - $ build2/b-boot config.cxx=clang++-3.5 ... - - The resulting build2 binary is saved as build2/b: - - $ build2/b --version - -4. Verification - - This step is optional and involves re-building libbutl and build2 yet again - using the binary built on step 3 and verifying that the two builds are - identical. - - @@ This is currently broken since the resulting binary contains full object - file paths. So we would need to build in exactly the same place as the - original, but that would make the binary from step 2 unusable. It seems the - only way to make it work is via installation/staging. - - To perform this step, first unpack new copies of libbutl and build2 into a - different directory, for example, a verify/ sub-directory. Then complete - step 2 for these new copies but using build2/b binary from step 3 rather - than build2/b-boot from step 2. Also, use the libbutl from step 2 in the - config.import.libbutl value (otherwise rpath differences will result in - different build2 binaries). For example: - - $ cd verify/build2 - $ ../../build2/build2/b '{configure update}(../libbutl-X.Y.Z/)' - $ ../../build2/build2/b config.import.libbutl=../../libbutl-X.Y.Z \ - configure update - - Once this is done, compare the libbutl libraries and build2 binaries, for - example: - - $ cd ../.. - $ diff libbutl/butl/libbutl.so verify/libbutl/butl/libbutl.so - $ diff build2/build2/b verify/build2/build2/b - -5.
