Actually I find compiling boost rather trivial, here is the command I use: First, goto where the boost source is (I use the trunk) and type these two commands: bootstrap.bat bjam --build-type=complete --toolset=msvc-8.0 --without-mpi --without-python --prefix=R:/SDKs/boost/built_head --build-dir=R:/SDKs/boost/build_head And change your directories for the prefix and the build-dir into whatever you want. Think of build-dir as a temporary directory where it stores stuff it is building, deletable after building is complete. The prefix is where it will be installed, thus for me I add R:/SDKs/boost/built_head/include and R:/SDKs/boost/built_head/lib into Visual Studio's global path listings for includes and libraries respectively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
