5 out of 5 starsEasy 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

2 out of 5 starsI agree with other persons. The documentation is very poor. I'm still fighting with linking problems, since hours.

1 out of 5 starsI got stuck in the Boost filesystem tutorial with the instructions for Windows to type "bld". The bld.bat file is local and it contains the command "bjam". There is no bjam.exe in the distribution for boost_1_54_0 and the tutorial is no help on how to proceed.

3 out of 5 starsI'm having issues downloading the zip file for Boost. The site takes me in circles.

5 out of 5 starsBoost has become a critical element in my research. They have done an amazing job of bringing the best community developed C++ libraries into a common framework. Easy to install and easy to use on multiple platforms. Robust community of developers finding and fixing problems. Of course, because it has so many authors and everyone is a volunteer, the documentation can be a little hit or miss. But hey, what do you want for nothing?

5 out of 5 starsI just find that I can't install it on my computer. Every time I tried the cmd just shows "MySQL is not an external call....". And many times the cmd window just flashes away.....I highly appreciate the work boost has done but unfortunately I can't even install it. can someone help me out? I reallydon't know what is going on there.
