we want to update from 1_44_0 to 1_48_0. Our old build-process is as follows (for Linux):

It seems that "b2" is (just) bjam?
Yep.
However it is not really clear from the documentation how to build (and use) bjam (apparently via boostrap?)? And then apparently some of the above parameters of bjam, for example prefix, are now parameters of bootstrap?
We would be glad if somebody could tell us (or some link) how to update the above process.
I think the above should still work. bootstrap is really just to simplify the process for users who don't want anything special. In Christ, Steven Watanabe --- thanks for the answer! We accordingly replaced the path tools/jam/src by tools/build/v2/engine and it all works now. Oliver
