  <h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>

  <p>These instructions are intended to help you get started using the Boost
  Libraries. This walks you through getting, building, and installing the
  libraries. To summarize these are the steps to get Boost built and
  installed:</p>

  <ol>
    <li><a href="#step1">Download Boost</a>.</li>

    <li><a href="#step2">Install Boost.Jam</a>.</li>

    <li><a href="#step3">Configure your compiler toolset</a>.</li>

    <li><a href="#step4">Go to Boost distribution directory</a>.</li>

    <li><a href="#step5">Build and install</a>.</li>
  </ol>

  <h2><a name="Download"></a>Download</h2>

  <table summary="" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
    <tr align="left" valign="top">
      <td width="40" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFF66">
      <font size="6"><b><a name="step1"></a>1</b></font></td>

      <td>The Boost Libraries are distributed through the SourceForge file
      distribution system. Click here to <b><a href=
      "http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586"><font size="4">
      download releases from SourceForge</font></a></b>. And unpack the
      release to a convenient location.</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <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.&nbsp; This works fine for Windows, but not for Unix/Linux.&nbsp;
  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.&nbsp;
  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 &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.

  <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&nbsp; interface</a>.&nbsp; 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
  <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>

  <table summary="" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
    <tr align="left" valign="top">
      <td width="40" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFF66">
      <font size="6"><b><a name="step2"></a>2</b></font></td>

      <td>The build system uses <a href=
      "../tools/build/jam_src/index.html">Boost.Jam</a>, an extension of the
      <a href="http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html">Perforce Jam</a>
      portable <i>make</i> replacement. You can either <a href=
      "../tools/build/jam_src/index.html#building_bjam">build this
      yourself</a>, it's included with the distribution. Or obtain a
      <strong><a href=
      "http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586"><font size="4">
      prebuilt from SourceForge</font></a></strong>. To install Boost.Jam,
      copy the <tt>bjam</tt> executable to a location accessible in your
      <tt>PATH</tt>.</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <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. 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 circumstancesyou should use quotes appropriate
    for your command interpreter.<br></li>
  </ol>

  "../tools/build/v1/build_system.htm#build">BUILD</a>=&lt;features/variants&gt;</tt>"
  which lets you override what is built by default. The
  "<tt>&lt;features/variants&gt;</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
  &lt;runtime-link&gt;static/dynamic &lt;threading&gt;single/multiple</tt>",
  in which "<tt>debug</tt>" and "<tt>release</tt>" are variants, and the rest
  features with two values each.</p>

  <p>If you have some feedback about the build and install process please
  drop us a line at the <a href="mailing_lists.htm#jamboost">Boost.Build

  platform and if it there is anything that you feel could be done
  better.</p>

  <h2><a name="Results"></a>Results</h2>

  <p>The results of building come in to forms: static libraries, and dynamic
  libraries. Depending on the platform the libraries produced have different
  names to accommodate the platform requirements. For a single Boost library
  the build with the default will produce eight different libraries. For
  example building the Boost.Datetime library on Unix type system it would
  produce:</p>

  <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>

    <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>Threading</h3>

  <p>This tag indicates if the library is compiled with threading support. If
  threading is enabled "<tt>-mt</tt>" is added, otherwise nothing is
  added.</p>

  <h3>Runtime</h3>

  <p>This specifies the type of runtime the library was compiled against, and
  the type of code that is compiled. More commonly this encodes the ABI
  variation used in the code. For each feature of the runtime system and code
  compilation option a single letter is added to this tag.</p>

  <table border="1" cellpadding="5" summary="">
    <tr>
      <td><b>Key</b></td>

      <td><b>Feature</b></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><tt>s</tt></td>

      <td>Static link to runtime.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><tt>g</tt></td>

      <td>Debug runtime.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><tt>y</tt></td>

      <td>Debug Python system.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><tt>d</tt></td>

      <td>Debug enabled code.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><tt>p</tt></td>

      <td>STLport runtime, instead of the vendor toolset runtime.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td><tt>n</tt></td>

      <td>STLport runtime using the "native" IO streams instead of the
      STLport IO streams.</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <p>For example if you compile debug code for STLport using native IO
  streams, and statically link to the debug runtime the tag would be:
  "<tt>-sgdpn</tt>".</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>
    <br></li>

    <li>If Boost.Build has problems detecting your Python installation it
    will print a short messages about how to configure for finding the Python
    installation. For more information, see these detailed <a href=
    "../libs/python/doc/building.html#building">instructions</a>.</li>
