Get Boost
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to get a copy of Boost is to use an installer. The
|
||||
`Boost website version of this Getting Started guide`_ will have
|
||||
updated information on installers as they become available, or see
|
||||
`Boost downloads`_ or the installer_ provided by `BoostPro
|
||||
Computing`_. We especially recommend using an installer if you use
|
||||
Microsoft Visual Studio, because the installer can download and
|
||||
install precompiled library binaries, saving you the trouble of
|
||||
building them yourself. To complete this tutorial, you'll need to at
|
||||
least install the Static Multithreaded variants of the Boost.Regex_
|
||||
binaries when given the option.

If you're using an earlier version of Visual Studio or some other
|
||||
compiler, or if you prefer to build everything yourself, you can
|
||||
The most reliable way to get a copy of Boost is to
|
||||
download |boost.7z|_ or |boost_zip|_ and unpack it to install a complete Boost

distribution. [#zip]_

Install Visual Studio Binaries
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The installers supplied by BoostPro Computing will download and
|
||||
install pre-compiled binaries into the ``lib\`` subdirectory of the
|
||||
boost root, typically |default-root|\ ``\lib\``. If you installed
|
||||
all variants of the Boost.Regex_ binary, you're done with this
|
||||
step. Otherwise, please run the installer again and install them
|
||||
now.
