Obsolete Libraries

Download

You may download all of boost -as a single boost_all.zip file.  As many boost headers -include other boost headers, installing one at at time is painful. -This is a first try at making installation easier.

- -

If you don't already have a .zip file decoder, download one -from the Info-ZIP -web site. The .zip format is used for distribution because there -are free decoders and encoders available for many, many different -platforms. Many commercial compress/archive utilities also -support this format.

- -

CVS archive

- -

For those who have CVS installed, the libraries can also be -downloaded from the public CVS repository. The general procedure -goes something like this:

- -
- 
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost login
-  [Hit <return> when it asks for a password]
-cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost checkout boost
-cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost logout
-
- -

Installing Boost Libraries

- -

Many boost libraries are implemented entirely within their -header files.  The only preparation for their use is to add -the path for the parent directory of the boost header sub-directory -to your compiler's list of #include search directories.

- -
-

For example, using Windows 2000, if you have unzipped - release 1.18.1 from boost_all.zip into the top level - directory of your C drive, for Borland, GCC, and Metrowerks - compilers add '-Ic:/boost_1_18_1' to the compiler command - line, and for the Microsoft compiler add '/I "c:/boost_1_18_1"'.  - For IDE's, add 'c:/boost_1_18_1' (or whatever you have - renamed it to) to the search list using the appropriate GUI - dialog.

-
- -

A few boost libraries are implemented by separate source -files, and thus require compilation on your system to link -properly.  Boost does not currently have an overall "build" -or "make" mechanism in place. Some of the individual -libraries do include make and/or project files for various -compilers.
