Description
Package name
build2-toolchain
Package homepage
https://github.com/build2/build2-toolchain
Description
All-in-one native multi-threaded cross-platform build-toolchain for C/C++ projects written in C++ with no third-party dependencies.
*Not a meta build-system or a build-system generator.
This package may have to be broken down into smaller packages as it contains different packages which make up the whole toolchain. It includes the build system (build2), package dependency manager (bpkg), project dependency manager
(bdep), and their prerequisite libraries as subprojects.
Main website: https://build2.org/
There's also offline tarballs available: https://build2.org/install-faq.xhtml#offline
Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the build2-toolchain homepage and its offline tarballs to understand the build2, bpkg, bdep, and prerequisite components. Determine whether the request should be split into packages; done means the selected package layout is defined and the toolchain can be built and installed through Void's packaging system.
