Boost library installation and compilation under window7 + visual studio 2015

I want to use the boost library under windows vs 2015. The installation under windows is not as easy as ubuntu. I saw a blog post that perfectly compiled the 32-bit and 64-bit boost libraries. transfer

Original: https://blog.csdn.net/zengraoli/article/details/70187556

First download the latest version of boost (currently the latest version is 1.63)

download link:

http://www.boost.org

After downloading, unzip it

Compile 32-bit boost library

Open 32-bit command line tools for vs

Go to the boost source code folder

Go to the boost source code folder

run bootstrap.bat

Do the following to compile boost

( msvc version 14.0 corresponds to vs2015 , --stagedir is the specified directory after compilation, and the article appendix has the corresponding number of the vs version)

[cpp]  view plain copy  

1. bjam stage --toolset=msvc-14.0 --without-graph --without-graph_parallel --stagedir="D:\boost\boost_1_63_0\bin\vc14" link=static runtime-link=shared runtime-link=static threading=multi debug release  

This is the 32-bit boot library

Compile 64-bit boost library

Open 64-bit command line tools for vs

Go to the boost source code folder

run bootstrap.bat

Do the following to compile boost

( msvc version 14.0 corresponds to vs2015 , --stagedir is the directory where it is stored after compilation)

[cpp]  view plain copy  

1. bjam stage --toolset=msvc-14.0 architecture=x86 address-model=64 --without-graph --without-graph_parallel --stagedir="D:\boost\boost_1_63_0\bin\vc14-x64" link=static runtime-link=shared runtime-link=static threading=multi debug release  

This is the 64-bit boot library

get started with boost

Set the test program to 64-bit

Set additional include paths (boost folder unzipped after download):

Set the library path:

Then build the first boost project with the following code:

[cpp]  view plain copy  

1. #include "boost/thread.hpp"  
2. #include "iostream"  
3. usingnamespace std;   
4.   
5. void mythread()  
6. {  
7.     cout << " hello,thread! " << endl;  
8. }  
9.   
10. int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])  
11. {  
12.     boost::function<void()> f(mythread);  
13.     boost::thread t(f);  
14.     t.join();  
15.     cout << " thread is over! " << endl;  
16.   
17.   
18.     return 0;  
19. }  

get the output
