1. Download
The current version is 1.82, download link:
https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.82.0/source/
2. Install the compilation dependency library
The local environment is Ubuntu 22.04, and the following dependent libraries need to be installed, some of which affect the opening of boost-related functions, and some of which affect the compilation process.
Compile the AOSP source code in the local environment, and have installed related dependent libraries. In addition to the ones listed here, other dependent libraries may be required, which can be installed according to the prompts.
sudo apt install icu-devtools libicu-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libzstd-dev python3-dev python2-dev -y
2.1 Decompression
Source code folder after decompression:
boost_1_82_0$ ls
boost boost.css bootstrap.sh index.html libs README.md tools
boost-build.jam boost.png doc INSTALL LICENSE_1_0.txt rst.css
boostcpp.jam bootstrap.bat index.htm Jamroot more status
2.2 Execute the bootstrap.sh script to generate the b2 compilation tool
1) After executing bootstrap.sh, two files b2 and project-config.jam are added to the source code directory.
2) The b2 tool is used to compile and install the boost library.
(1) Check the help: b2 --help
(2) Compile: b2
(3) Clean: b2 --clean
(4) Install: b2 install
(5) Reconfigure the compilation script: b2 --reconfigure
If the compilation fails or is in progress It is found that some dependent libraries and boost-related modules are missing. After installing the dependent libraries, you need to execute this command to re-detect dependencies and generate compilation scripts.
$ ./bootstrap.sh

Generating B2 configuration in project-config.jam for gcc...
Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:
./b2
To generate header files, run:
./b2 headers
The configuration generated uses gcc to build by default. If that is
unintended either use the --with-toolset option or adjust configuration, by
editing 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:
- Command line help:
./b2 --help
- Getting started guide:
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
- B2 documentation:
http://www.boost.org/build/
2.3 Compile and install
1) Execute the b2 command to compile the source code, first detect the compilation dependencies, and then compile according to the dependency configuration.
2) After successful compilation, install: b2 install.
The default installation paths are: /usr/local/include/boost and /usr/local/lib/
$ ./b2

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!
The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:
/home/dev/github/boost/temp/boost_1_82_0
The following directory should be added to linker library paths:
/home/dev/github/boost/temp/boost_1_82_0/stage/lib
2.4 Test procedure
After installation, you don't need to specify include and library path, they can be searched automatically when compiling.
The following test programs can be compiled with clion or the command line:
$ g++ -o main main.cpp
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
int main()
{
std::string hello( "Hello, world!" );
BOOST_FOREACH( char ch, hello )
{
std::cout << ch;
}
return 0;
}
2.5 CMake dependencies
Use find_package in the cmake script to show references to boost:
find_package(Boost 1.82 REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem regex PATHS C:/Boost)
find_package(Boost 1.82 REQUIRED COMPONENTS ALL)
find_package(Boost 1.82 REQUIRED ALL)
