- Invoke the makefile (pass the full path to your version of make if you
- have more than one version installed, the makefile relies on the path to
- make to obtain your C++ Builder installation directory and tools) for example:
- </li>
-</ul></div>
-<pre class="programlisting">make -fbcb5.mak</pre>
-<p>
- The build process will build a variety of .lib and .dll files (the exact number
- depends upon the version of Borland's tools you are using) the .lib and dll
- files will be in a sub-directory called bcb4 or bcb5 depending upon the makefile
- used. To install the libraries into your development system use:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">make -fbcb5.mak install</pre>
-<p>
- library files will be copied to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">BCROOT</span><span class="special">>/</span><span class="identifier">lib</span></code> and the dll's to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">BCROOT</span><span class="special">>/</span><span class="identifier">bin</span></code>, where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">BCROOT</span><span class="special">></span></code>
- corresponds to the install path of your Borland C++ tools.
- </p>
-<p>
- You may also remove temporary files created during the build process (excluding
- lib and dll files) by using:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">make -fbcb5.mak clean</pre>
-<p>
- Finally when you use Boost.Regex it is only necessary for you to add the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">></span></code> root director to your list of include directories
- for that project. It is not necessary for you to manually add a .lib file to
- the project; the headers will automatically select the correct .lib file for
- your build mode and tell the linker to include it. There is one caveat however:
- the library can not tell the difference between VCL and non-VCL enabled builds
- when building a GUI application from the command line, if you build from the
- command line with the 5.5 command line tools then you must define the pre-processor
- symbol _NO_VCL in order to ensure that the correct link libraries are selected:
- the C++ Builder IDE normally sets this automatically. Hint, users of the 5.5
- command line tools may want to add a -D_NO_VCL to bcc32.cfg in order to set
- this option permanently.
- </p>
-<p>
- If you would prefer to do a dynamic link to the regex libraries when using
- the dll runtime then define BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK (you must do this if you want
- to use Boost.Regex in multiple dll's), otherwise Boost.Regex will be statically
- linked by default.
- </p>
-<p>
- If you want to suppress automatic linking altogether (and supply your own custom
- build of the lib) then define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB.
- </p>
-<p>
- If you are building with C++ Builder 6, you will find that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">regex</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>
- can not be used in a pre-compiled header (the actual problem is in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">locale</span><span class="special">></span></code> which gets included by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">regex</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>),
- if this causes problems for you, then try defining BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE when
- building, this will disable some features throughout boost, but may save you
- a lot in compile times!

- You need version 6 or later of MSVC to build this library. If you are using
- VC5 then you may want to look at one of the previous releases of this library.
- </p>
<p>
- Open up a command prompt, which has the necessary MSVC environment variables
- defined (for example by using the batch file Vcvars32.bat installed by the
- Visual Studio installation), and change to the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">>\</span><span class="identifier">libs</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">regex</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">build</span> <span class="identifier">directory</span></code>.
+ The Regex library is "just a bunch of source files": nothing special
+ is required to build them.
</p>
<p>
- Select the correct makefile - vc6.mak for "vanilla" Visual C++ 6
- or vc6-stlport.mak if you are using STLPort.
+ You can either build the files under boost-path/libs/regex/src/*.cpp as a library,
+ or add them directly to your project. This is particularly useful if you need
+ to use specific compiler options not supported by the default Boost build.
</p>
<p>
- Invoke the makefile like this:
+ There are two #defines you should be aware of:
</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">nmake -fvc6.mak</pre>
-<p>
- You will now have a collection of lib and dll files in a "vc6" subdirectory,
- to install these into your development system use:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">nmake -fvc6.mak install</pre>
-<p>
- The lib files will be copied to your <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">VC6</span><span class="special">>\</span><span class="identifier">lib</span></code> directory and the dll files to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">VC6</span><span class="special">>\</span><span class="identifier">bin</span></code>, where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">VC6</span><span class="special">></span></code> is
- the root of your Visual C++ 6 installation.
- </p>
-<p>
- You can delete all the temporary files created during the build (excluding
- lib and dll files) using:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">nmake -fvc6.mak clean </pre>
-<p>
- If you want to build with ICU support, then you need to pass the path to your
- ICU directory to the makefile, for example with:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">nmake ICU_PATH=c:\open-source\icu -fvc71.mak install</pre>
-<p>
- Finally when you use Boost.Regex it is only necessary for you to add the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">></span></code> root directory to your list of include
- directories for that project. It is not necessary for you to manually add a
- .lib file to the project; the headers will automatically select the correct
- .lib file for your build mode and tell the linker to include it.
- </p>
-<p>
- Note that if you want to dynamically link to the regex library when using the
- dynamic C++ runtime, define BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK when building your project.
- </p>
-<p>
- If you want to add the source directly to your project then define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB
- to disable automatic library selection.
- </p>
-<p>
- There are several important caveats to remember when using Boost.Regex with
- Microsoft's Compiler:
- </p>
-<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
-<li class="listitem">
- There have been some reports of compiler-optimization bugs affecting this
- library, (particularly with VC6 versions prior to service patch 5) the
- workaround is to build the library using /Oityb1 rather than /O2. That
- is to use all optimization settings except /Oa. This problem is reported
- to affect some standard library code as well ( in fact I'm not sure if
- the problem is with the regex code or the underlying standard library),
- so it's probably worthwhile applying this workaround in normal practice
- in any case.
- </li>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
- If you have replaced the C++ standard library that comes with VC6, then
- when you build the library you must ensure that the environment variables
- "INCLUDE" and "LIB" have been updated to reflect the
- include and library paths for the new library - see vcvars32.bat (part
- of your Visual Studio installation) for more details.
+ BOOST_HAS_ICU should be defined if you want ICU support compiled in.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
- If you are building with the full STLPort v4.x, then use the vc6-stlport.mak
- file provided and set the environment variable STLPORT_PATH to point to
- the location of your STLPort installation (Note that the full STLPort libraries
- appear not to support single-thread static builds).
- </li>
-<li class="listitem">
- If you are building your application with /Zc:wchar_t then you will need
- to modify the makefile to add /Zc:wchar_t before building the library.
+ BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK should be defined if you are building a DLL on Windows.

- there is a conservative makefile for the g++ compiler. From the command prompt
- change to the <boost>/libs/regex/build directory and type:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">make -fgcc.mak </pre>
-<p>
- At the end of the build process you should have a gcc sub-directory containing
- release and debug versions of the library (libboost_regex.a and libboost_regex_debug.a).
- When you build projects that use regex++, you will need to add the boost install
- directory to your list of include paths and add <boost>/libs/regex/build/gcc/libboost_regex.a
- to your list of library files.
- </p>
-<p>
- There is also a makefile to build the library as a shared library:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">make -fgcc-shared.mak</pre>
-<p>
- which will build libboost_regex.so and libboost_regex_debug.so.
- </p>
-<p>
- Both of the these makefiles support the following environment variables:
- </p>
-<p>
- ICU_PATH: tells the makefile to build with Unicode support, set to the path
- where your ICU installation is located, for example with: make ICU_PATH=/usr/local
- install -fgcc.mak
- </p>
-<p>
- CXXFLAGS: extra compiler options - note that this applies to both the debug
- and release builds.

-<p>
- There is a makefile for the sun (6.1) compiler (C++ version 3.12). From the

- and type:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">dmake -f sunpro.mak </pre>
-<p>
- At the end of the build process you should have a sunpro sub-directory containing
- single and multithread versions of the library (libboost_regex.a, libboost_regex.so,
- libboost_regex_mt.a and libboost_regex_mt.so). When you build projects that
- use Boost.Regex, you will need to add the boost install directory to your list
- of include paths and add <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">>/</span><span class="identifier">libs</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">regex</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">build</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">sunpro</span><span class="special">/</span></code> to
- your library search path.

-<p>
- Both of the these makefiles support the following environment variables:
- </p>

- CXXFLAGS: extra compiler options - note that this applies to both the single

-<p>
- INCLUDES: additional include directories.

-<p>
- LIBS: additional library files.
- </p>
-<p>
- LIBSUFFIX: a suffix to mangle the library name with (defaults to nothing).
- </p>
-<p>
- This makefile does not set any architecture specific options like -xarch=v9,
- you can set these by defining the appropriate macros, for example:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting">dmake CXXFLAGS="-xarch=v9" LDFLAGS="-xarch=v9" LIBSUFFIX="_v9" -f sunpro.mak</pre>
-<p>
- will build v9 variants of the regex library named libboost_regex_v9.a etc.
