- [section:build_utf Building the __UTF__]
- In case you would like to use the [link boost_test.usage_variants.shared_lib shared library variant] or the [link boost_test.usage_variants.static_lib static library variant] of the __UTF__, the library needs to be built.
- Building the __UTF__ is in fact quite easy.
- In the sequel, we define
- * $`boost_path` refers to the location where the boost archive was deflated
- * $`boost_installation_prefix` refers to the location where you want to install the __UTF__
- [/ not true
- [note By default, the static and dynamic variant will be built for your operating system]
- ]
- More documentation about *Boost's build system* can be found [@http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/index.html here].
- [h3 Windows]
- You need to have a compilation toolchain. /Visual Studio Express/ is such one, freely available from the
- Microsoft website. Once installed, open a /Visual Studio Command Line tools/ prompt and build the Boost build program `b2`
- (see the link above). You will then be able to compile the __UTF__ with different variants.
- [h4 Static variant]
- For building 32bits libraries, open a console window and enter the following commands:
- ```
- > cd ``$``boost_path
- > bootstrap.bat
- > b2 address-model=32 architecture=x86 --with-test link=static \
- > --prefix=``$``boost_installation_prefix install
- ```
- For building 64bits libraries, the commands become:
- ```
- > cd ``$``boost_path
- > bootstrap.bat
- > b2 address-model=64 architecture=x86 --with-test link=static \
- > --prefix=``$``boost_installation_prefix install
- ```
- [h4 Shared library variant]
- In order to build the shared library variant, the directive `link=static` should be replaced by `link=shared` on the above command lines.
- For instance, for 64bits builds, the commands become:
- ```
- > cd ``$``boost_path
- > bootstrap.bat
- > b2 address-model=64 architecture=x86 --with-test link=shared --prefix=``$``boost_installation_prefix install
- ```
- [h3 Linux/OSX]
- For Unix/Linux/OSX operating system, the build of the __UTF__ is very similar to the one on Windows:
- ```
- > cd ``$``boost_path
- > ./bootstrap.sh
- > ./b2 --with-test --prefix=``$``boost_installation_prefix install
- ```
