Boost.Build

metrowerks toolset

Introduction

Boost.Build's metrowerks toolset supports the Metrowerks CodeWarrior C/C++ compiler hosted on, and targeting Windows.

Configuration Variables

The metrowerks toolset responds to the following variables which can be set in the environment or configured on the jam command-line using -sVARIABLE_NAME=value:

Variable Name	Semantics	Default	Notes
`METROWERKS_ROOT`	Path to installation of compiler tools.	(none)	If not set tools must be available in the executable path. This location is used as a base to the `cwenv.bat` script which is run before each command, if this variable is set.
`CWFOLDER`	Path to installation of compiler support.	(none)	This is a compatability variable to specify where to find the compiler support files, i.e. includes. If you don't set `METROWERKS_ROOT`, but instead set up the environment, for example by executing `cwenv.bat` as a default, this will be used and therefore get the value as indicated in your setup.
`BOOST_CODEWARRIOR_6`	Flag indicating wether to use version 6.x layout of support files, or not.	(none)	The epmty default value indicates to use a version 7.x layout. To use the version 6 layout set it to a non empty value, like `true`.
