| 57 | <p>The Boost.Build code is structured in four different components: |
|---|
| 58 | "kernel", "util", "build" and "tools". The first two are relatively |
|---|
| 59 | uninteresting, so we'll focus on the remaining pair. The "build" component |
|---|
| 60 | provides classes necessary to declare targets, determine which properties |
|---|
| 61 | should be used for their building, and for creating the dependency |
|---|
| 62 | graph. The "tools" component provides user-visible functionality. It |
|---|
| 63 | mostly allows to declare specific kind of main targets, and declare |
|---|
| 64 | avaiable tools, which are then used when creating the dependency graph. |
