Building Boost BCP

Question

I was trying to build Boost C++ Libraries for last two hours and stopped without any result. Since I am new to C++, I am unable to get the build right. How can I build it co

Answer 1

I extracted the source: https://github.com/district10/cmake-bcp (You don't need to configure BOOST, cause all source code are included already).

On Linux, cmake + make to build:

# cd source_dir
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

On Windows: CMake-GUI + Visual Studio to build. Need help? See HOWTO: Win + CMake + Visual Studio 2010.

My executables:

• Windows: http://whudoc.qiniudn.com/2016/bcp_standalone.exe (561 KB)
• Linux: http://whudoc.qiniudn.com/2016/bcp_standalone_linux (917 KB)
• macOS: https://github.com/district10/cmake-bcp/releases/download/1.0/macOS_bcp (801 KB)

Tip: If you come across linking problems on Windows when using Boost, go check the boost/config/auto_link.hpp and you'll understand. To resolve this, you can just comment out the whole file.
