<h1>Boost Download and Installation</h1>
The boost libraries are intended for easy download and installation.
However, unlike other packages, there is no global setup and
configuration tool.
<h2>Download</h2>
The boost libraries are available in various formats. Most of the
files are available through links from the individual library's
documentation. As many boost headers include other boost headers,
installing one at a time is painful. Therefore, archive formats have
been prepared which contain all of boost in a single file.
<h3>ZIP file</h3>
The .zip format is widely supported by both free decoders and
commercial commpress/archive utilities. If you don't already have a
.zip file decoder, download one from the
<a href="http://www.info-zip.org/">Info-ZIP</a>
web site.
<p>
Unix/Linux hints: boost_all.zip is built on a Win32 platform, so the
line endings are wrong for Unix/Linux. Use the -a option when
unzipping with InfoZip for Unix/Linux friendly line endings.
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://boost.sourceforge.net/pub/boost/release/">Latest version</a>
</ul>
<h3>.tar.gz file</h3>
The .tar.gz format is widely supported on Unix/Linux platforms. Some
Windows compress/archive utilities can read the format as well.
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://boost.sourceforge.net/pub/boost/release/">Latest version</a>
</ul>
<h3>CVS archive</h3>
For those who have CVS installed, the libraries can also be downloaded
from the public CVS repository. The general procedure for
command-line clients is something like this:
<blockquote>
<code>
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost login
</code>
<br>
[Hit &lt;return&gt; when it asks for a password]
<br>
<code>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost checkout boost
<br>
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost logout
</code>
</blockquote>
Read the manual for your CVS client for further information.
<h2>Installation</h2>
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 headers sub-directory to your compiler's
list of <code>#include</code> search directories.
<blockquote>
For example, using Windows 2000, if you have unzipped release 1.20.2
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.
</blockquote>
<p>
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" machanism in place.
Some of the individual libraries do include make and/or project files
for various compilers, though.
