- <title>Differences to Boost.Build V1</title>
- <!-- "Differences to" is the British English usage. American
- English is "differences from." You can use the former but be
- sure you know what you're doing -->
-
- <para>While Boost.Build V2 is based on the same ideas as Boost.Build V1,
- some of the syntax was changed, and some new important features were
- added. This chapter describes most of the changes.</para>
-
- <section id="bbv2.overview.differences_to_v1.configuration">
- <title>Configuration</title>
-
- <para>In V1, toolsets were configured by environment variables. If you
- wanted to use two versions of the same toolset, you had to create a new
- toolset module that would set the variables and then invoke the base
- toolset. In V2, toolsets are configured by the
- <functionname>using</functionname>, and you can easily configure several
- versions of a toolset. See <xref
- linkend="bbv2.overview.configuration"/> for details.

- <section id="bbv2.overview.differences_to_v1.jamfiles">
- <title>Writing Jamfiles</title>
-
- <para>Probably one of the most important differences in V2 Jamfiles is
- the use of project requirements. In V1, if several targets had the same
- requirements (for example, a common <code>#include</code> path), it was necessary to
- manually write the requirements or use a helper rule or template target. In V2, the
- common properties can be specified with the <code>requirements</code> project
- attribute, as documented in <xref linkend="bbv2.overview.projects"/>.
- </para>
-
- <para><link linkend="bbv2.tutorial.libs">Usage requirements</link>
- also help to simplify Jamfiles.
- <!-- Simplify, simplify, simplify! You could go through the
- entire document several times and make changes like that
- one -->
- If a library requires
- all clients to use specific <code>#include</code> paths or macros when compiling
- code that depends on the library, that information can be cleanly
- represented.</para>
-
- <para>The difference between <code>lib</code> and <code>dll</code> targets in V1 is completely
- eliminated in V2. There's only one library target type, <code>lib</code>, which can create
- either static or shared libraries depending on the value of the
- <link linkend="bbv2.overview.builtins.features.link"><varname>&lt;link&gt;</varname>
- feature</link>. If your target should be only built in one way<!--"variant" has a different meaning here-->, you
- can add <code>&lt;link&gt;shared</code> or <code>&lt;link&gt;static</code> to its requirements.
- </para>
-
- <para>The syntax for referring to other targets was changed a bit. While
- in V1 one would use:
-<programlisting>
-exe a : a.cpp &lt;lib&gt;../foo/bar ;
-</programlisting>
- the V2 syntax is:
-<programlisting>
-exe a : a.cpp ../foo//bar ;
-</programlisting>
- Note that you don't need to specify the type of other target, but the
- last element should be separated from the others by a double slash to indicate that
- you're referring to target <filename>bar</filename> in project <filename>../foo</filename>, and not to
- project <filename>../foo/bar</filename>.
- </para>

- <section id="bbv2.overview.differences_to_v1.build_process">
- <title>Build process</title>
-
- <para>The command line syntax in V2 is completely different. For example
-<programlisting>
-bjam -sTOOLS=msvc -sBUILD=release some_target
-</programlisting>
- now becomes:
-<programlisting>
-bjam toolset=msvc variant=release some_target
-</programlisting>
- or, using implicit features, just:
-<programlisting>
-bjam msvc release some_target
-</programlisting>
- See <link linkend="bbv2.overview.invocation">the reference</link> for a
- complete description of the syntax.
