packaging libraries in c++
<p>I am a java developer for last four years . I am planning to develop an c++ application which uses the library like boost etc.
In java we can add the libraries in class path and export as single jar and distribute it .
I am not sure how to do this in c++ and more over i use ant for build too in java. </p>

<p>Do we have any build too like ant for c++.</p>

<p>What are the things we need to consider while developing an c++ application in terms for supporting different operating systems and some general things.</p>

<p>Do c++ have some thing like maven in java?</p>
