1. Download and unzip the boost 1.58 source code

can go to boost the official website to download, here provides a

Download

wget http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.58.0/boost_1_58_0.tar.bz2

Extract

tar -xjf boost_1_58_0.tar.bz2

2. Operation bootstrap.sh

bootstrap.shis used to check the installation environment, if the error, look at what is missing, install can ( g++ ).

./bootstrap.sh

After the run completes, some files are generated in the current directory for the next installation.

3. Use b2To build

b2is generated after the success of the previous step, use it to build the boost library.

sudo ./b2

You may also encounter errors here, such as without bzlib.h this header file.

cc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.9.2/release/link-static/threading-multi/bzip2.olibs/iostreams/src/bzip2.cpp:20:56: fatal error: bzlib.h: 没有那个文件或目录 #include "bzlib.h"  // Julian Seward‘s "bzip.h" header.                                                        ^compilation terminated.

The workaround is also very simple, execute the following statement (provided that the Linux distribution of the Debina system is installed apt-get )

Tips for building success

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:    /home/o/Boost库/boost_1_58_0The following directory should be added to linker library paths:    /home/o/Boost库/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib

The above sentence means that you are prompted to compile the boost include directory and directory location that you specified when using the library's code lib .

4. Install the boost library to the specified directory

The third step is just to say the construction of the situation, in fact, this can be used. If you want boost to install the library to a specific directory, such as a usr/local directory, you can use the following command.

sudo ./b2 --prefix=/usr/local/boost install

If you want to specify a directory when you compile the code later, you can add it to the environment variable CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and to LIBRARY_PATH the.

export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/boost/includeexport LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/boost/lib

This is only temporary and is happy to be written /etc/profile in the file.

5, test

Start by writing a simple applet that gets the current date

Code

#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp> #include <iostream> int main() {     boost::gregorian::date d(boost::gregorian::day_clock::local_day());    std::cout << d.year() << d.month() <<d.day() << std::endl; }

Compile run

g++ -I /usr/local/boost/include -L /usr/local/boost/lib boost.cpp -o boost ./boost 2015Jul9
