Unless you specifically only need the \c{build2} build system, you should
install the entire \c{build2} toolchain instead, either using the
\l{https://build2.org/install.xhtml install script} or the
\c{build2-toolchain} distribution.

The instructions outlined below are essentially a summary of the first three
steps of the manual bootstrap process described in \c{build2-toolchain} with a
few extra examples that would primarily be useful for distribution packaging.

Also, below we only show commands for UNIX-like operating systems. For other
operating systems and for more details on each step, refer to the
\c{build2-toolchain} installation documentation.

\c{build2} requires a C++14 compiler. GCC 4.9, Clang 3.7, and MSVC 14 (2015)
Update 3 or any later versions of these compilers are known to work. The build
system 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,
we use the \c{bootstrap.sh} shell script (or equivalent batch files for
Windows) found in the root directory of the \c{build2} distribution. On
UNIX-like operating systems as well as on Windows with MinGW or Clang, a GNU
\c{make} makefile called \c{bootstrap.gmake} can also be used with the major
advanage over the script being support for parallel compilation and an out of
tree build (see comments inside the makefile for more information).

The following is the recommended sequence of steps:


\dl|

\li|\b{0. Prerequisites}\n

Get \c{libbutl} (normally from the same place where you got \c{build2}) and
place it \i{inside} \c{build2}, so that you have:

\
build2-X.Y.Z
|
`-- libbutl-X.Y.Z
\

|

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

First, we build a minimal build system using \c{bootstrap.sh} (run
\c{bootstrap.sh -h} for options):

\
$ cd build2-X.Y.Z
$ ./bootstrap.sh g++

$ b/b-boot --version
\

Alternatively, we can use the \c{bootstrap.gmake} makefile:

\
$ cd build2-X.Y.Z
$ make -f bootstrap.gmake -j 8 CXX=g++

$ b/b-boot --version
\

If you would prefer to bootstrap out of source tree, this is supported by the
makefile (but not the script):

\
$ mkdir build2-boot
$ make -C build2-boot -f ../build2-X.Y.Z/bootstrap.gmake -j 8 CXX=g++

$ build2-boot/b/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.

\
$ b/b-boot config.cxx=g++ config.bin.lib=static b/exe{b}
$ mv b/b b/b-boot

$ b/b-boot --version
\

Or, alternatively, for an out of source build:

\
$ build2-boot/b/b-boot config.cxx=g++ config.bin.lib=static \
  build2-X.Y.Z/b/@build2-static/b/exe{b}

$ build2-static/b/b --version
\

|

\li|\n\b{3. Build and Install}\n

Finally, we configure, build, and optionally install the \"final\" version
using shared libraries:

\
$ b/b-boot configure              \
  config.config.hermetic=true     \
  config.cxx=g++                  \
  config.cc.coptions=-O3          \
  config.bin.rpath=/usr/local/lib \
  config.install.root=/usr/local  \
  config.install.sudo=sudo

$ b/b-boot
\

\N|The \c{config.config.hermetic=true} configuration variable in the first
command makes sure the embedded \c{~host} and \c{~build2} configurations
include the current environment. This is especially important for \c{~build2}
which is used to dynamically build and load ad hoc recipes and build system
modules and must therefore match the environment that was used to build the
build system itself.|

If you are only interested in installing the result, then you can avoid
building tests by specifying the \c{update-for-install} operation in the last
command:

\
$ b/b-boot update-for-install
\

On the other hand, if I you are not planning to install the result, then you
can omit the \c{config.install.*} values as well as \c{.rpath}.

To install:

\
$ b/b-boot install
$ which b
$ b --version
\

To uninstall:

\
$ b uninstall
$ which b
\

Or, alternatively, for an out of source build:

\
$ build2-static/b/b configure: build2-X.Y.Z/@build2-shared/ \
  config.config.hermetic=true     \
  config.cxx=g++                  \
  config.cc.coptions=-O3          \
  config.bin.rpath=/usr/local/lib \
  config.install.root=/usr/local  \
  config.install.sudo=sudo

$ build2-static/b/b update-for-install: build2-shared/

$ build2-static/b/b install: build2-shared/

$ b uninstall: build2-shared/
\

For distribution packaging it is often required to install \"as if\" into the
system directory (for example, \c{/usr}) but to copy the files somewhere else
(for example, \c{/tmp/install/usr}; aka the \c{DESTDIR} functionality). In
\c{build2} this can be achieved with the \c{config.install.chroot}
configuration variable, for example:

\
$ build2-static/b/b configure: build2-X.Y.Z/@build2-shared/ \
  config.config.hermetic=true        \
  config.cxx=g++                     \
  config.cc.coptions=-O3             \
  config.install.root=/usr           \
  config.install.chroot=/tmp/install
\
