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.
