Build Boost C++ libraries for x32/x64 VC++ compilers on Windows
Boost is a set of libraries for the C++ programming language that provide support for tasks and structures such as linear algebra, pseudorandom number generation, multithreading, image processing, regular expressions, and unit testing. Steps to build Boost for x32/x64 VC++ compilers on Windows are as follows:
- Download Boost and extract it to PC (assume C:\Libs\boost_1_47_0).
- Double click to run bootstrap.bat in Boost's root folder, which will generate bjam.exe (and b2.exe …) in the same folder.
- Run VC++.
- VC++ > Tools > Visual Studio Command Prompt.
- In the command window, first change working folder to C:\Libs\boost_1_47_0 and type the following command (Note: it will take a long time to finish, which is depended on your system, 20min for me.):
bjam --build-type=complete toolset=msvc-10.0 threading=multi link=static address-model=64
- Setup VC++. Two steps need to be done.
- Add C:\Libs\boost_1_47_0 to project Include files.
- Add C:\Libs\boost_1_47_0\stage\lib to project Library files.
Remarks:
- The above step will build static Boost libraries for x64 VC++. Options (colored command in step 5) can be modified in step 5 to build it for other versions' VC++, see the following table for details.
Command | Options | Meanning
--------------|------------|----------------------------------
| msvc-6.5 | Visual Studio 6.0, Service Pack 5
| msvc-8.0 | Visual Studio 2005
toolset | msvc-9.0 | Visual Studio 2008
| msvc-10.0 | Visual Studio 2010
| msvc-11.0 | Visual Studio 2012
--------------|------------|----------------------------------
link | static | static libraries
| shared | shared libraries
--------------|------------|----------------------------------
address-model | 32 | x32 VC++ compilers
| 64 | x64 VC++ compilers
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
编译 64 位 boost 库
vc 和 intel 编译器
编译 64 位 boost 库的方法：
bjam.exe --toolset=msvc address-model=64 --build-type=complete
bjam.exe --toolset=intel address-model=64 --build-type=complete
编译 32 位 boost 库的方法：
bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete
bjam.exe --toolset=intel --build-type=complete
一个参数开关的差别，然后就慢慢喝茶等待吧。
编译出来的库文件名称都是一样的，小心不要把 32 位和 64 位的文件互相覆盖了
