|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The Boost release includes all of the libraries and other material from
|
|
|
+ the web site. It is available in <a href="#.zip">ZIP</a>, <a href=
|
|
|
+ "#.tar.gz">TAR.GZ</a>, and <a href="#.tar.gz">TAR.BZ2</a> formats. Past
|
|
|
+ releases are also available.</p>It is also possible to download current
|
|
|
+ snapshots of work-in-progress from Boost's <a href="#CVS">CVS
|
|
|
+ repository</a>.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h3><a name=".zip">.zip</a> file</h3>The .zip format is widely supported by
|
|
|
+ both free decoders and commercial compress/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, which supplies versions
|
|
|
+ for many operating systems.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>Text file line endings in the .zip file are as supplied by each library
|
|
|
+ developer. This works fine for Windows, but not for Unix/Linux.
|
|
|
+ The .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 files supply Unix/Linux friendly line endings.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h3><a name=".tar.gz">.tar.gz</a> and .tar.bz2 files</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The .tar.gz format is widely supported on Unix/Linux platforms. Some
|
|
|
+ Windows compress/archive utilities can read the format as well.
|
|
|
+ Because the gzip format compresses the archive as a single file rather than
|
|
|
+ compressing each file individually, the .tar.gz file is smaller that the
|
|
|
+ .zip file.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The .tar.bz2 format is becoming widely available on Unix/Linux platforms
|
|
|
+ and is built into many tar utilities. This format differs for the .tar.gz
|
|
|
+ format in the compression used, which is considerably better and therefore
|
|
|
+ creates smaller files.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>Text file line endings in the .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 files have been
|
|
|
+ converted to newlines for ease of use on Unix/Linux platforms.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h3>Boost <a name="CVS">CVS</a> Repository</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>All Boost files, including the entire distribution tree including web
|
|
|
+ site HTML is maintained in a CVS repository. Command line, GUI, or browser
|
|
|
+ access is available.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h4>Boost CVS access via command line or graphical clients</h4>For those
|
|
|
+ who have CVS clients installed, the libraries are also available from the
|
|
|
+ public <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586">Boost CVS
|
|
|
+ repository</a>. Free command line clients (often already installed on
|
|
|
+ Linux/Unix systems) are available for many systems, and free GUI clients
|
|
|
+ are available for Windows, Mac, and other systems.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>See the much improved <a href=
|
|
|
+ "http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=1">CVS documentation</a> (Section
|
|
|
+ F) from SourceForge, which includes links to the home pages for various GUI
|
|
|
+ and command line clients.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The general procedure for command-line clients is something like
|
|
|
+ this:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <blockquote>
|
|
|
+ <code>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
|
|
|
+ login</code><br>
|
|
|
+ [Hit <return> 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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>This access is read-only; if you are a library author and wish to have
|
|
|
+ CVS write access, please contact one of the <a href=
|
|
|
+ "moderators.html">moderators</a>.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h4>Boost CVS access via web <a name="Browser">Browser</a></h4>For access
|
|
|
+ to the CVS archive from any modern web browser, you can also use the
|
|
|
+ <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost/boost/">web
|
|
|
+ browser interface</a>. Try one of the color diffs to see how a
|
|
|
+ file has changed over time.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h2><a name="Preparation"></a>Preparation</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The recommended way to build and install the Boost Libraries is to use
|
|
|
+ Boost.Build, the Boost Build system. The rest of these instructions explain
|
|
|
+ that use, but it is up to you to use this method, or not. Note that some of
|
|
|
+ the libraries also include non Boost.Build makefiles and/or project files.
|
|
|
+ But all include the needed files for building with Boost.Build.</p>

+ <h3><a name="Configuring">Configuring the tools</a></h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>Before using Boost.Build you will need to configure the compiler tools
|
|
|
+ you are using. The build system's toolsets are designed to work in either
|
|
|
+ of two ways:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <ol>
|
|
|
+ <li>The user sets up all of the environment for each toolset he wants to
|
|
|
+ use in the normal way. For example, for Microsoft VC++, ...vc98/bin is in
|
|
|
+ the path, vcvars32.bat or equivalent has been invoked, etc. For
|
|
|
+ Metrowerks CodeWarrior, cwenv.bat or equivalent has been called and
|
|
|
+ ...Other Metrowerks Tools/Command Line Tools is in the path. Many Unix
|
|
|
+ operating systems come preconfigured this way and require no user
|
|
|
+ intervention.<br>
|
|
|
+ <br></li>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <li>The user doesn't want his environment cluttered with settings or has
|
|
|
+ nonstandard installations for some of his tools. Instead, he or she sets
|
|
|
+ variables which point to the toolset installation directories, either in
|
|
|
+ the command shell environment or on the <code>bjam</code> command-line.
|
|
|
+ These variables are used by the build system to locate the tools and
|
|
|
+ invoke the necessary setup.</li>

|
|
|
+ therefore added to all libraries on Unix type systems, and to static
|
|
|
+ libraries on Windows. That is on Unix shared libraries and static libraries
|
|
|
+ (object archives) are named respectively:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
+ <li><tt>lib*.so</tt></li>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <li><tt>lib*.a</tt></li>
|
|
|
+ </ul>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>On Windows shared libraries do not have the prefix to differentiate the
|
|
|
+ import libraries from static libraries. Consequently on Windows the
|
|
|
+ libraries are named:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
+ <li><tt>*.dll</tt></li>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <li><tt>*.lib</tt></li>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <li><tt>lib*.lib</tt></li>
|
|
|
+ </ul>
|

|
+ <h3>Library Name</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>For Boost libraries the name has the "<tt>boost_</tt>" prefix to
|
|
|
+ separate them from other libraries in your system.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h3>Toolset</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The toolset name is an abbreviation based on the compiler you are
|
|
|
+ building with. The abbreviation is composed of a short, 2 to 4 characters,
|
|
|
+ tag for the compiler and a version number of the compiler's major and minor
|
|
|
+ revision (if available). For example if your toolset is
|
|
|
+ "<tt>gcc-3.2.3</tt>" the toolset tag would be "<tt>gcc32</tt>". The toolset
|
|
|
+ abbreviations used are as follows:</p>

|

|
|
+ <h3>Boost Version</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>This is the short label for the version of the Boost Libraries. The
|
|
|
+ major and minor version numbers are taken together separated by an
|
|
|
+ underscore. For example version 1.31.0 would be tagged as "<tt>-1_31</tt>".
|
|
|
+ The patch version number is not included because it is assumed that patch
|
|
|
+ versions are upward compatible.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h3>Library Type</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The extension holds the type of library. This follows the platform
|
|
|
+ requirements. On Windows this is "<tt>.dll</tt>" for shared libraries, and
|
|
|
+ "<tt>.lib</tt>" for static libraries including import libraries. On Unix
|
|
|
+ this is ".a" for static libraries (archives), and ".so" for shared
|
|
|
+ libraries. For toolsets that support it in Unix they will also have a full
|
|
|
+ version extension (for example "<tt>.so.1.31.0</tt>") with a symbolic link
|
|
|
+ for the un-versioned library.</p>

|
|
|
+ <h2><a name="Additional_Steps"></a>Additional Steps</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>Depending on your platform and configuration you may need to perform
|
|
|
+ some additional configuration to get Boost to build and install.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
+ <li><a href="../libs/config/config.htm#configuring">Configure the boost
|
|
|
+ source code</a>. This step should not be required on the vast majority of
|
|
|
+ platforms, but if you're trying to build Boost on an untested or
|
|
|
+ unsupported platform it may be necessary.<br>
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
+ <li>If Boost.Build has problems detecting your Python installation it
