Easy install on Windows 7 or later
----------------------------------
1. Open up a Cygwin terminal and cd to your downloaded source
2. Run ./bootstrap.bat ( had to search for file)
~/Desktop/Download/boost_1_62_0/tools/build$ ./bootstrap.bat mingw ** because Im using mingw
Bootstrapping the build engine
Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:
.\b2 --prefix=DIR install
3. Since I use Mingwing gcc I run the following commands:
~/Desktop/Download/boost_1_62_0/tools/build$ ./b2.exe --prefix=/boost/ toolset=gcc install
Easy Install. Examples are in the install directory
cd examples and just find a main.cpp program.
To compile just run the following command :
g++ main.cpp -o example1

I agree with other persons. The documentation is very poor. I'm still fighting with linking problems, since hours.

I have to double check this. looks great!)))
-
I learn C++ now, and wish to test it. Will see))))
-
Awesome tool! Great work!
-
Very nice tool.
-
Nice work, like it.
-
happy to hear such news about portable libraries!! Great innovation
-
Really a very useful project!
-
Finally, something powerful done with c++
-
When you add allocator_traits support for both C++ - I breathed a breath of fresh air :) Tnx.
-
Boost is, next to STL, the most useful resource for programming in C++! Anyone using the thumbs down has no right calling themselves a C++ developer/architect ;).
-
Well done, we need more so good Projects!
-
We intensively use Boost in VCMI project. An unlimited number of useful tools from simple utilities to mind-bending libraries that allow metaprogramming at any level of abstraction.
-
Useful stuff. Nice work!
-
This is the helpful future of C++ :D
-
Great library, so much better to work with than most of QT's stuff (GUI aside). The easiest way to use it is the installer at boostpro.com.
-
Great stuff.... *thumbs up* ;-)
-
Best documentation, right from how to install to explanation on complex C++ concepts... everything there is well structured, systematic, and consistent.
-
When the C++ standard library is lacking, Boost picks up the slack – It then flies around holding that slack, miraculously tying up all the loose ends. It really is a very high quality set of libraries.
-
Been trying for months to download the latest version, but SourceForge doesn't seem to be working anymore. Too bad. Looked like a useful utility.
-
Boost is one of, if not, the most important development libraries in any C++ programmer's arsenal.
-
Best for using C++ and also quick which will save alot of time.
-
good job
-
To walk I use my legs, To program in C++ I use Boost!
-
Being An Alalgamation It Does Have Missing Features But Inter Library Interaction In Particular Is Excellent. In All I Will Give It A Thumbs Up.

Must have
