Overview

BJam commands are used to build software with the Boost variant of the Jam build tool. This tool originated at Perforce.

Default Post-Processing

BJam commands apply bjam post-processing to their output by default, in order to capture common warning and error messages.

Locating BJam

The bjam binary is located using the following algorithm:

• If the command's custom bjam executable field is set, its value is used.
• If a property named bjam.bin is defined, its value is used.
• Otherwise, bjam is assumed to be in the PATH.
