Build Boost library under Windows (MSVC)

Download & Unzip

Download source code from http://www.boost.org/and unzip

Open a native tool command prompt for VS

• CD Boost_sourcecode_dir
• Bootstrap

• If you need to compile Boost.python you need to add the following in Boost_sourcecode_dir\tools\build\example\user-config.jam:

  14.0;2.7 : F:\\ProgramData\\Anaconda2 : F:\\ProgramData\\Anaconda2\\include : F:\\ProgramData\\Anaconda2\\libs

• Use the b2 command to compile, the specific command line parameters can be viewed in the Boost_sourcecode_dir\jamroot file, if you want to compile x64, remember to add address-model=64, otherwise the default compile both 32-bit and 64-bit

Introduction of dynamic library/static library in VS Project

• If you want to use Boost.python, remember to introduce Python's include and Libs
• Using the dynamic link library requires #define Boost_all_dyn_link

Version Boost.python HelloWorld

#define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK#include <iostream>#include <boost/python.hpp>void hello(){    "hello, world" << std::endl;}BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(helloworld){    usingnamespace boost::python;    def("hello", &hello);}

• It should be noted that Boost_python_module (HelloWorld) must be consistent with the output PYD file name, change the target file name extension to. PYD in the project properties, configure the type selection DLL
• The generated. PYD file can be directly import in Python
