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.

Makes doing almost anything in C++ so much easier. Be it string processing, filesystem work, or other stuff you really wouldn't want to code yourself, Boost provides a simple way to handle it and works great, every time.
