- <h2><a name="Download">Download</a></h2>
- <p>You may <a href="boost_all.zip">download all of boost</a> as a single ZIP
- file. As many boost headers include other boost headers, installing one at
- at time is painful. This is a first try at making installation easier. </p>
- <p>If you don't already have a ZIP file decoder, download one from the <a href="http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/">Info-ZIP</a>
- web site.</p>
- <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>
