Win7下Boost库的安装

Boost库是C++领域公认的经过千锤百炼的知名C++类库，涉及编程中的方方面面，简单记录一下使用时的安装过程

1.boost库的下载

boost库官网主页：www.boost.org

2.安装

将下载的压缩包解压到指定的目录

3.建立编译工具bjam.exe

在源码目录下执行bootstrap.bat,生成bjam.exe

4.在命令行模式下利用bjam编译boost库，这里利用VS2012自带的命令行工具

D:\Program Files\VS2012\VC>cd D:\Program Files\BoostSDK\boost

D:\Program Files\BoostSDK\boost>bjam stage

D:\Program Files\BoostSDK\boost>bjam stage --toolset=msvc-11.0 --without-graph -
-without-graph_parallel --without-mpi --without-wave --stagedir="D:\Program File
s\BoostSDK\bin\vc110" link=static runtime-link=shared runtime-link=static thread
ing=multi debug release

说明：

--toolset 指明编译工具，msvc-11.0表示Visual Studio 2012

--stagedir 指明编译后库文件的存放路径

--without-mpi表示不编译mpi库，其他的--without类似

boost库中有些库是必须要编译才能使用的，大部分只要引用头文件即可，少数是必须编译成二进制文件的。

摘用官方文档的一点说明：

The first thing many people want to know is, “how do I build Boost?” The good news is that often, there's nothing to build.

Nothing to Build?

Most Boost libraries are header-only: they consist entirely of header files containing templates and inline functions, and require no separately-compiled library binaries or special treatment when linking.

The only Boost libraries that must be built separately are:

• Boost.Chrono
• Boost.Context
• Boost.Filesystem
• Boost.GraphParallel
• Boost.IOStreams
• Boost.Locale
• Boost.MPI
• Boost.ProgramOptions
• Boost.Python (see the Boost.Python build documentation before building and installing it)
• Boost.Regex
• Boost.Serialization
• Boost.Signals
• Boost.System
• Boost.Thread
• Boost.Timer
• Boost.Wave

A few libraries have optional separately-compiled binaries:

• Boost.DateTime has a binary component that is only needed if you're using its to_string/from_string or serialization features, or if you're targeting Visual C++ 6.x or Borland.
• Boost.Graph also has a binary component that is only needed if you intend to parse GraphViz files.
• Boost.Math has binary components for the TR1 and C99 cmath functions.
• Boost.Random has a binary component which is only needed if you're using random_device.
• Boost.Test can be used in “header-only” or “separately compiled” mode, although separate compilation is recommended for serious use.
• Boost.Exception provides non-intrusive implementation of exception_ptr for 32-bit _MSC_VER==1310 and _MSC_VER==1400 which requires a separately-compiled binary. This is enabled by #define BOOST_ENABLE_NON_INTRUSIVE_EXCEPTION_PTR.

5.安静的等待库的编译完成
