Building

Uses its own Build process

2017-11 (1.65.1)

• Much is header only, but some parts require building
• Follow Getting started on Windows or Getting started on Unix variants
• Building on Windows with MSVC 2017 requires a workaround (see issue #13197)
• With MSVC 2015 run "bootstrap vc14" followed by "b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 stage"
