|
-
|
|
|
- <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.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost login</code><br>
|
|
|
- [Hit <return> when it asks for a password]<br>
|
|
|
- <code>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost checkout boost</code><br>
|
|
|
- <code>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.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. <b>Note:</b> this interface is only suitable
|
|
|
- for viewing individual files and their revision histories. If you
|
|
|
- need an image of the whole CVS tree, <a
|
|
|
- href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a> provides
|
|
|
- an hourly <a
|
|
|
- href="http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost.tar.bz2">snapshot in
|
|
|
- .tar.bz2 format</a>.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <h4><a name="generated">Documentation</a> generated from BoostBook
|
|
|
- in CVS</h4>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>Some of the Boost documentation is generated from <a
|
|
|
- href="../doc/html/boostbook.html">BoostBook XML</a> source stored in
|
|
|
- the CVS repository, and will not appear directly in the CVS tree as
|
|
|
- readable HTML. View a nightly build of the generated HTML on the <a
|
|
|
- href="http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html">Nightly
|
|
|
- Generated Documentation</a> page. Where generated HTML is missing from the
|
|
|
- CVS tree, an attempt has been made to include redirection to this
|
|
|
- nightly build, but if you are away from an internet connection you
|
|
|
- may want to download the generated documentation archive from the
|
|
|
- aforementioned page so you can browse those documents offline.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <h2><a name="Preparation"></a>Preparation</h2>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>The recommended way to build and install the Boost Libraries is to use
|
|
|
- <a href="../tools/build/v1/build_system.htm">Boost.Build</a>, 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 or .../VC7/Bin is in the PATH environment variable,
|
|
|
- VCVARS32.BAT or VSVARS32.BAT 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. To set the variables on the <tt>bjam</tt>
|
|
|
- command-line you use the "<tt>-s</tt>" option. For example:<br>

+ 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.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
|
|
|
+ login</code><br>
|
|
|
+ [Hit <return> when it asks for a password]<br>
|
|
|
+ <code>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
|
|
|
+ checkout boost</code><br>
|
|
|
+ <code>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.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. <b>Note:</b> this interface is only
|
|
|
+ suitable for viewing individual files and their revision histories. If
|
|
|
+ you need an image of the whole CVS tree, <a href=
|
|
|
+ "http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a> provides an hourly
|
|
|
+ <a href="http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost.tar.bz2">snapshot in
|
|
|
+ .tar.bz2 format</a>.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <h4><a name="generated">Documentation</a> generated from BoostBook in
|
|
|
+ CVS</h4>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>Some of the Boost documentation is generated from <a href=
|
|
|
+ "../doc/html/boostbook.html">BoostBook XML</a> source stored in the CVS
|
|
|
+ repository, and will not appear directly in the CVS tree as readable
|
|
|
+ HTML. View a nightly build of the generated HTML on the <a href=
|
|
|
+ "http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html">
|
|
|
+ Nightly Generated Documentation</a> page. Where generated HTML is missing
|
|
|
+ from the CVS tree, an attempt has been made to include redirection to
|
|
|
+ this nightly build, but if you are away from an internet connection you
|
|
|
+ may want to download the generated documentation archive from the
|
|
|
+ aforementioned page so you can browse those documents offline.</p>

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The recommended way to build and install the Boost Libraries is to use
|
|
|
+ <a href="../tools/build/v1/build_system.htm">Boost.Build</a>, 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
|
|
|
+ or .../VC7/Bin is in the PATH environment variable, VCVARS32.BAT or
|
|
|
+ VSVARS32.BAT 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. To set the variables on the
|
|
|
+ <tt>bjam</tt> command-line you use the "<tt>-s</tt>" option. For
|
|
|
+ example:<br>
|
|
|
+ <br>
|
|
|
+ <tt>bjam "-sGCC_ROOT=/usr/local/gcc-3.3.2"</tt><br>
|
|
|
+ <br>
|
|
|
+ Some variables, like the toolset <tt>TOOLS</tt> variable, can accept
|
|
|
+ multiple values separated by spaces. Others, like the path above, can
|
|
|
+ contain spaces. For such circumstances you should use quotes
|
|
|
+ appropriate for your command interpreter.<br>

|

|
-
|
|
|
- <p>The "lib" prefix on the libraries is a requirement on many platforms,
|
|
|
- like Unix, and on others like GCC running on Windows. The prefix is
|
|
|
- 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>

|

+ "../tools/build/v1/build_system.htm#build">BUILD</a>=<features/variants></tt>"
|
|
|
+ which lets you override what is built by default. The
|
|
|
+ "<tt><features/variants></tt>" value is a list, separated by
|
|
|
+ spaces, of build requests. Features take the form of a tag and a value or
|
|
|
+ values. And variants are single symbolic names for a collection of
|
|
|
+ features. For example the default is to request "<tt>debug release
|
|
|
+ <runtime-link>static/dynamic <threading>single/multi</tt>",
|
|
|
+ in which "<tt>debug</tt>" and "<tt>release</tt>" are variants, and the
|
|
|

+ <h3>Library Prefix</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>The "lib" prefix on the libraries is a requirement on many platforms,
|
|
|
+ like Unix, and on others like GCC running on Windows. The prefix is
|
|
|
+ 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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <ul>
|
|
|
- <li><tt>*.dll</tt></li>
|
|
|
+ <li><tt>*.lib</tt></li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <li><tt>*.lib</tt></li>
|
|
|
+ <li><tt>lib*.lib</tt></li>
|
|
|
+ </ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <li><tt>lib*.lib</tt></li>
|
|
|
- </ul>
|
|
|
+ <h3>Library Name</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- <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>
