  37           <p>Boost.Build makes it easy to build C++ projects, everywhere.
  38
  39           <p>
  40             You name your executables and libraries and list their sources. Boost.Build
  41             takes care about compiling your sources with right options, creating
  42             static and shared libraries, making executables, and other chores &mdash;
  43             whether you're using gcc, msvc, or a dozen more supported C++
  44             compilers &mdash; on Windows, OSX, Linux and commercial UNIX systems.

  51           <p>
  52             <b>Simple and high level build description</b>. In most
  53             cases a name of target and list of sources is all you need.
  54
  55           <p>
  56             <b>Portability</b>. Most important build properties have symbolic
  57             names that work everywhere. Why memorize compiler flags necessary
  58             for multi-threaded 64-bit shared library, if Boost.Build can do it for you?
  59
  60           <p><b>Variant builds</b>. When you build the same project
  61             twice with different properties, all produced files are placed
  62             in different directories, so you can build with 2 versions of
  63             gcc, or both debug and release variants in one invocation.

  67         <div class="col-md-6">
  68           <p>
  69           <b>Global dependencies</b>. No matter what directory you build
  70           in, Boost.Build will always check all dependencies in your entire
  71           project, preventing inconsistent binaries.  And it's easy to
  72           use one Boost.Build project in other, again with full dependency
  73           tracking.
  74
  75           <p>
  76           <b>Usage requirements</b>. A target can specify properties,
  77           like include paths and preprocessor defines, that are necessary to use
  78           it.  Those properties will be automatically applied whenever the target
  79           is used.
  80
  81           <p>
  82           <b>Standalone</b>. Boost.Build's only dependency is a C compiler,
  83           so it's easy to setup. You can even include all of Boost.Build in your
  84           project. Boost.Build does not depend on Boost C++ Libraries.
