Using boost in Visual Studio

1. Download boost's Windows distribution to boost official web. Assuming it's boost_1_58_0.7z.

2. Decompression, get Boost_1_58_0 directory

3. Create the directory C:\Program files\boost, move the boost_1_58_0 directory you extracted from the previous step to the newly created directory.

4. Open Visual Studio and create a new C + + project

5. Open the properties of the project, configure properties->c/c++->general->additional include Directories, add C:\Program here Files\boost\boost_1_58_0

6. Write test code and compile

#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>

int main ()
{
    using namespace Boost::lambda;
    typedef std::istream_iterator<int> in;

    Std::for_each (
        in (Std::cin), in (), Std::cout << (_1 * 3) << "");

Note: If you follow the steps above, you will not be able to compile your program, then you need to compile boost, please refer to the following official website article.
