Reporter: Erik Schnetter Status: new Milestone: ET_2026_05 Version: development version Type: enhancement Priority: minor Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn

Comment (by Peter Diener):

When trying the thorn in the repository, I got this output:

Boost: Configuring... Building B2 engine..

tools/build/src/engine/b2 Detecting Python version... 2.7 Detecting Python root... /usr Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... /usr Generating B2 configuration in project-config.jam for gcc...

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

./b2

To generate header files, run:

./b2 headers

The configuration generated uses gcc to build by default. If that is unintended either use the --with-toolset option or adjust configuration, by editing 'project-config.jam'.

Further information:

- Command line help: ./b2 --help
