What would be the minimum template or skeleton for a new C++ compiler toolset as a jamfile ? Does such a template physically exist in Boost Build ? I have read the Boost Build Extender Manual in the Boost Build documentation. But it seems to me that all C++ compilers do more or less the same thing, which is: 1) Compile C++ source files into an object file 2) Create either a static or shared library from object files 3) Create an executable from object files and therefore a common template for all C++ compiler toolsets could be provided in Boost Build from which a programmer can create his own by plugging in compiler features and command lines, since all C++ compilers have the same metatargets more or less. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-build
