Some libraries fail to build, feel free to submit patches to Boost devs. </p> <p>NOTE: for x64, some parts are not supported. Contact Boost devs for support. With boost version 1.44, try using the additional bjam option "define=BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H" this will build additional parts (e.g. threads) of boost. </p></div>Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:08:15 -0000https://sourceforge.nete391342b757726a1cca974d19afad6baa1ad37be
