Question 1: How do I specify that the build should use a dynamic CRT?
In general, see answer to question 2. But dynamic CRT is used by default, anyway.
Question 2: Where do I find the answers to questions such a Question 1? The get started guide contains to little info, the reference manual too much.
In Boost.Build documentation. Namely: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/builtins/features.html
Thank you Volodya.
Two suggestions:
1. The above page does not give the default values of the features. This should be added.
2. I think the documentation of how to build Boost should be made more user-friendly. There is a gap between the Getting Started Guide and the Reference Manual that should be bridged. What is needed I think, is to expand the Getting Started Guide, and describe, with plenty of examples, how to make simple customizations of the build. Right now the Getting Started Guide only describes how to do a default build.
I don't think that adding that to Getting Started is necessary. Instead, it should say have a link to a page describing general Boost.Build command line syntax, which in turn can list a few common features. There are some cleanups in getting started that I was meaning to suggest, but I need to think more about those. - Volodya
