+<h2>Installing Boost Libraries</h2>
|
|
|
+<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
+<blockquote>
|
|
|
+ <p>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.</p>
|
|
|
+</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" mechanism in
|
|
|
+place.</p>
