64-bit version of Boost for 64-bit windows

Question

Is there a version of 64-bit Boost library for VS2008 ? Or do I have to compile one myself? if, so, does anyone have experience with it?

Answer 1

UPDATE(19.09.2017): added script lines for VS2017. Please be aware that Boost supports VS2017 compiler from a certain version above. I used the latest version (1.65.1).

I used this scripts for building boost for x64 and x86 platforms, lib and dll, debug and release for VS2017, VS2015 and VS2013:

You can make a .bat file and run it for building your boost binaries.
