Often for very "fresh" releases there are no binaries available yet, so you'll need to fall back compiling the binaries yourself. Download the boost release package from their website, e.
Boost 1. To build the static libraries Boost you need the the boost jam tool bjam. Open a Visual Studio Developer Command prompt choose the version you want to build the libraries for, e. Let's start compiling by using the boost.
Keep using the Visual Studio Developer Command prompt:. You'll need to repeat the above steps and replace filesystem with the names of the other libraries, e. I found it's possible to have both the x86 and x64 variants of Python around on your system to compile the boost.
Get the x86 and x64 installer from the Python website and install them into separate target folders. I tried this with Python 3. We try to eliminate them, but doing so isn't always practical. If you're seeing compilation errors at this point in the tutorial, check to be sure you've copied the example program correctly and that you've correctly identified the Boost root directory. If you want to use any of the separately-compiled Boost libraries, you'll need to acquire library binaries.
Open the command prompt and change your current directory to the Boost root directory. Then, type the following commands:. The first command prepares the Boost. Build system for use. The second command invokes Boost. Build to build the separately-compiled Boost libraries. Please consult the Boost. Build documentation for a list of allowed options. Build to create your own binaries. Build is a text-based system for developing, testing, and installing software.
First, you'll need to build and install it. To do this:. First, find the toolset corresponding to your compiler in the following table an up-to-date list is always available in the Boost. Build documentation.
If you previously chose a toolset for the purposes of building b2 , you should assume it won't work and instead choose newly from the table below. If you have multiple versions of a particular compiler installed, you can append the version number to the toolset name, preceded by a hyphen, e. On Windows, append a version number even if you only have one version installed unless you are using the msvc or gcc toolsets, which have special version detection code or auto-linking will fail.
Build will place all intermediate files it generates while building into the build directory. If your Boost root directory is writable, this step isn't strictly necessary: by default Boost. Build will create a bin. Change your current directory to the Boost root directory and invoke b2 as follows:.
For a complete description of these and other invocation options, please see the Boost. For example, your session might look like this: 3. Build to build all supported variants of the libraries.
For instructions on how to build only specific variants, please ask on the Boost. Build mailing list. For a description of other options you can pass when invoking b2 , type:. Build can produce a great deal of output, which can make it easy to miss problems. During the process of building Boost libraries, you can expect to see some messages printed on the console. These may include. Notices about Boost library configuration—for example, the Regex library outputs a message about ICU when built without Unicode support, and the Python library may be skipped without error but with a notice if you don't have Python installed.
Messages from the build tool that report the number of targets that were built or skipped. Don't be surprised if those numbers don't make any sense to you; there are many targets per library. Build action messages describing what the tool is doing, which look something like:. The only error messages you see when building Boost—if any—should be related to the IOStreams library's support of zip and bzip2 formats as described here.
Install the relevant development packages for libz and libbz2 if you need those features. Other errors when building Boost libraries are cause for concern. If that isn't your problem or the user-config. Is there a better place for me to put this?
Are you using those binaries with Windows Universal Apps? It didn't work for me, because the instruction is not complete. After step 4 one should run the b2 command in cmd. It builds library binaries it is long proccess. Boost docs with this step — re-gor.
As a side note: in order to share your knowledge in the form of a self-answered question you should've written an answer not inside the question section, but as a separate answer there is a checkbox that says " Answer your own question " at the bottom of the Ask Question page.
