How to build boost.

[ZikO]

Hi guys.

I really tried to build the boost library version 1.38.0 but I am afraid
I am doing something wrong. I tried to do that from boost's website but
the procedure is really overwhelming :///
I have tried to build complete library so far for MinGW. I have created
BuildDirectory on disk E: in temp and being in boost_1_13_0 folder I
have run bjam as followed

bjam --build-dir="E:\Temp\BuildDirectory" --toolset=gcc
--build-type=complete

Now after quite long time what I have found in BuildDirectory is
boost\bin.v2\libs and a lot of folders like date_time filesystem etc.
All of them contain folders followed by this pattern:

build\gcc-mingw-4.3.0
build\gcc-mingw-4.3.0\Debug\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi
or
build\gcc-mingw-4.3.0\Release\....... the same

I am not sure atm what I should do to have it ready to work.



I have heard that boost is ready to work without compiling but some
libraries would have to be build anyway. How to do that?


Thanks in advance

Hi guys.

I really tried to build the boost library [..]

Please consider posting to their online forums. Products, and
especially their *build* procedures, are off-topic in a language
newsgroup. Thanks!

I hoped someone could help here as many ppl use it with C++ like
standard Library but if it's problem ok.
