Dev Booster C
Boost is a set of high-quality libraries that speed up C++ development. They are included in most linux distributions and some of them are already part of the C++ Standard Library. In the Windows environment, you have to install them in order to take advantage of them.
If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio, you can avoid the following steps by downloading a binary version from http://www.boostpro.com/download/ and skip to the Testing section in this document.
May 09, 2017 @jvillasante It would take a large amount of effort to remove the Boost dependency for very little benefit. Unfortunately there just isn't an extremely simple way to run C locally on Windows. Right now, to run the problem on Windows in Visual Studio, all.
Boost as an organization. The Boost organization and wider Boost community supports research and education into the best possible uses of C and libraries developed for it, particularly, but not exclusively those contained in the Boost Library. As for WHY I choose to use boost. I'd say I use it because as you imply in your question, it's 'the' C library. Boost is viewed in the C world as the swiss army knife of things that eventually you're going to need to use. So the idea is that if there is a need, there should be a highly performant, and portable version of it in boost. Sep 27, 2012 Boost is a set of high-quality libraries that speed up C development. They are included in most linux distributions and some of them are already part of the C Standard Library. In the Windows environment, you have to install them in order to take advantage of them. If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio, you.
Before we start, you may want to read my previous article on installing a C++ compiler on Windows.
Installation
Download and unzip the boost source code from http://www.boost.org/. I will unzip it to C:optc-libs, but you can use the one you prefer. After you unzip, open a command line and go to your selected folder:
Start bootstrap.bat and specify your toolset. Toolsets supported by this script are: borland, como, gcc, gcc-nocygwin, intel-win32, metrowerks, mingw, msvc, vc7, vc8, vc9, vc10, vc11. In my case I will use the mingw toolset:
All required files for compilation should be ready. Now you have to define a installation directory and specify a toolset. Toolsets here are a little bit different from the ones we used before:
- acc: Hewlett Packard, Only very recent versions are known to work well with Boost
- borland: borland
- como: Comeau Computing, Using this toolset may require configuring another toolset to act as its backend
- darwin: Apple, Apple’s version of the GCC toolchain with support for Darwin and MacOS X features such as frameworks.
- gcc: The Gnu Project, including Cygwin and MinGW
- hp_cxx: Hewlett Packard, Targeted at the Tru64 operating system.
- intel: Intel
- msvc: Microsoft
- sun: Sun, Only very recent versions are known to work well with Boost.
- vacpp: IBM, The VisualAge C++ compiler.
Since I’m using MinGW I will use gcc.
At this time you can go get a cup of coffee. Or maybe two.
When compilation ends, go to your selected installation path (watch out!, this is not the folder where you originally unzipped the source code). You will find two folders: include and lib. Both folders should contain files. That means you are done and ready for the testing phase.
Mar 10, 2020 3uTools iCloud Bypass: Unlocking iCloud on iOS. 3uTools is a completely free all-in-one tool for flashing and jailbreaking your iOS device. But sometimes you’re faced with the need to bypass Apple’s security-oriented iCloud Activation Lock and 3uTools luckily comes in handy at that too. 3utools remove icloud activation. Steps to Remove iCloud on iPhone without Passcode. Step 1: Download and open the iMyFone LockWiper application on your computer. Choose “ Unlock Apple ID ” mode. Step 2: Connect your iOS device to your computer and trust the connection. Tap on the ' Start to Unlock '. A lot of users consider that 3uTools could help to unlock iPhone or bypass iCloud activation lock. However, 3uTools has never refuted such claims on their official website. To take a detail look at 3utools, refer to this 3utools review below.
If any of the afore mentioned folders is empty then we have problems. Common problems arise due to selecting the wrong toolset for compiling, so if your lib folder is empty try choosing a different toolset. If error persist, take a look at the compilation output. Errors must be shown there, specially at the last lines of the output.
Testing
From your IDE create a file named main.cpp and copy the following text onto it:
It’s time to compile (and link)
In order to let your compiler know where to look for the headers and libraries, you have to follow the next steps. You can usually accomplish them by right clicking on your project and selecting Properties or Options.
Add the following path to your includes list:
Add the following path to your additional library directories list
Important: if you are using Netbeans, you should only type /installation/path/lib (you have to omit the C:). For a very strange reason, Netbeans adds a forward slash at the beggining of the parameter /L used to compile (only when it begins with C:) resulting in an unknown path. This might be fixed in later versions.
If you are using a gnu compiler (that is Cygwin or MinGW), you must also add the specific library to the linker. If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio you can skip this step because it includes the so called auto-linking support. But, in my case, I have to add the following library to my libraries list so the linker performs without complaints:
This file name is composed by:
- The standard lib prefix. DLL’s do not use it.
- The library name boost_regex.
- The toolset used to compile it, in my case mgw47, that is MinGW version 4.7.
- The threading tag mt, which indicates if the library accepts multithreading.
- The ABI tag, that can be: d for debugging, s for static linkage or g, y, p which are not covered in this text.
- The version tag.
- The extension, which can be .lib or .a.
You are ready. Build the program.

Time to execute it
The program you just compiled (and linked) can parse a text file looking for a line starting with the text “Subject:” in it. So to test it, copy and paste the following text into an empty text file and name it test.txt (save it in the folder where your .exe file resides):
Now, from a command prompt type:
If everything goes right you should see the following text:
Conclusion
At this point, boost should be ready on your Windows computer. I suggest you read about this tremendous library since it can help you make your life a lot easier.
Welcome to Boost.org!
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages the use of Boost libraries for all users with minimal restrictions.
We aim to establish 'existing practice' and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Beginning with the ten Boost Libraries included in the Library Technical Report (TR1) and continuing with every release of the ISO standard for C++ since 2011, the C++ Standards Committee has continued to rely on Boost as a valuable source for additions to the Standard C++ Library.

Boost as an organization
The Boost organization and wider Boost community supports research and education into the best possible uses of C++ and libraries developed for it, particularly, but not exclusively those contained in the Boost Library.
The organization and community support mailing lists and chat rooms to educate about best practices and cutting edge techniques for the user of Boost Libraries and C++ in general.
Since 2006 an intimate week long annual conference related to Boost called C++ Now has been held in Aspen, Colorado each May. The conference is an educational opportunity focused on cutting-edge C++. Boost has been a participant in the annual Google Summer of Code since 2007, in which students develop their skills by working on Boost Library development.
Getting Started
Boost works on almost any modern operating system, including UNIX and Windows variants. Follow the Getting Started Guide to download and install Boost. Popular Linux and Unix distributions such as Fedora, Debian, and NetBSD include pre-built Boost packages. Boost may also already be available on your organization's internal web server.
If you want to develop Boost, there's a getting started guide on the wiki.
Background
Read on with the introductory material to help you understand what Boost is about and to help in educating your organization about Boost.
Community
Boost welcomes and thrives on participation from a variety of individuals and organizations. Many avenues for participation are available in the Boost Community.
