Install Boost Library in Visual C ++ 2008

I downloaded Visual C ++ 2008, and I also have the Boost library, v. 1.44.0. How can I install the Boost library in C ++?

I also have Visual C ++ 2010.

You do not need to “install” Boost in Visual Studio. You need to point your IDE (in this case Visual Studio) to folders containing Boost headers and lib files (if you created Boost - some Boost libraries are only for headers, some of them need to be built). See Boost Getting Started for more details.

Fast start:

  • run your command prompt and go to the folder where you unzipped the formatting
  • execute bootstrap.bat
  • execute ". \ bjam --build-type = complete stage" - this will create almost everything in Boost.

Note. Ensure that the compiler and linker of VC ++ are in the PATH environment variable.
