Boost.asio Study Note I. Installation of the Boost library under Linux

Learn the Open Source Library The first step is to compile and install the library, and then run a successful demo before you can do the work.

Let's talk about the installation of the Boost library under Linux.

[email protected] ~]$ TAR-ZXVF boost_1_55_0.tar.gz
[Email protected] boost_1_55_0]$. /bootstrap.sh--prefix=/home/mjf/lib
[Email protected] boost_1_55_0]$ sudo./b2 Install

1. Unzip

2. Generate Bjam
The above command can be provided with various options, specifically refer to the Help documentation:./bootstrap.sh--help. Where the--prefix parameter, you can specify the installation path, if not with the--prefix parameter, the default path is/usr/local/include and/usr/local/lib, respectively, storing the header files and various libraries.

3. Compiling, installing
This is all compiled. Of course, you can also choose to compile only one part, option--with-<library> only compile the specified library, such as input--with-regex only compile the Regex library.
Once the compilation is complete, install the header file and the generated library into the specified path (--prefix)

Some of the common parameters of Bjam are listed below:

--build-dir=<builddir>	The compiled temporary files will be placed in the BuildDir (this is a good management, you can delete it after compiling)
--stagedir=<stagedir>	The path that holds the compiled library file, which is the default stage
--build-type=complete	Compile all versions, or only a small subset of the versions will be compiled, exactly equivalent to: Variant=release, threading=multi;link=shared|static;runtime-link=shared
Variant=debug|release	Decide what version to compile (Debug or release?)
Link=static|shared	Decide whether to use a static library or a dynamic library
Threading=single|multi	Decide whether to use single-threaded or multi-line libraries
Runtime-link=static|shared	Decide whether to have a static or dynamic link C/S standard library
--with-<library>	Compiles only the specified libraries, such as input--with-regex, and compiles only the Regex library.
--show-libraries	Display the library names that need to be compiled

when the installation is complete, we'll run an example:

#include <iostream> #include <boost/timer.hpp>using namespace Std;int main () {Boost::timer t;cout << " Max TimeSpan: "<<t.elapsed_max ()/3600<<" h "<<endl;cout << min tmiespan:" <<t.elapsed_ Min () << "s" <<endl;cout<< "now time Elapsed:" <<t.elapsed () << "S" <<endl;return 0;}
