a) Install Boost.Build
cd tools/build/v2
bootstrap.bat
./b2 --prefix=PREFIX install
b) (Optional) add PREFIX/bin to your PATH
Alternately, you can create a file
called boost-build.jam in the root
directory of your project that contains
boost-build path/to/boost-root/tools/build/v2 ;
Then you can just use b2.
