waf: how to use extra tools and how to distribute project?

I am using waf in windows and I cannot figure out how to use the boost tool.

I tried waf update, but it says the following:

Could not find the tool in the remote repository 'update' finished successfully (0.597s)

  1. How can I use the boost tool (or any) in extras?
  2. How should I distribute my project? I saw waf-light --tools=compat15,boost and things like that.
Solution

  • In order to use the boost tool, this is the way to go:

    waf update --files=boost

    That will upload the extra tool boost.
