Download boost from: http://www.boost.org/users/download/ e.g. by svn
- Windows -> tortoise (the simplest way)
After that : cmd -> go to boost directory ("D:\boostTrunk" - where You checkout or download and extract package): command : bootstrap
we created bjam.exe in ("D:\boostTrunk") After that : command : bjam toolset=msvc-10.0 variant=debug,release threading=multi link=static (It will take some time ~20min.)
After that: Open Visual studio 2010 -> create empty project -> go to project properties -> set:
Paste this code and check if it is working?
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
using namespace std;
struct Hello
{
Hello(){
cout << "Hello constructor" << endl;
}
~Hello(){
cout << "Hello destructor" << endl;
cin.get();
}
};
int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
//Boost regex, compiled library
boost::regex regex("^(Hello|Bye) Boost$");
boost::cmatch helloMatches;
boost::regex_search("Hello Boost", helloMatches, regex);
cout << "The word between () is: " << helloMatches[1] << endl;
//Boost shared pointer, header only library
boost::shared_ptr<Hello> sharedHello(new Hello);
return 0;
}
