- First! Boost.Build is not mature yet. Some features + First! Boost.Build is fairly new as yet. Some features are missing or incomplete. Instructions for accomplishing basic tasks (this page) are rudimentary. But enough functionality is working well to make using Boost.Build worthwhile. The important bits-and-pieces are all there - what's left is some of the relatively - minor glue to make the system smooth and easy to use. Don't expect - building a full Boost object library for any random compiler to work - yet. If there isn't a jam configuration file for your favorite - compiler, consider contributing one.
