Build Boost

$ cd /home
$ tar xvjf boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2
  • Use a Win32 command window (e.g: use Start > Run and choose "cmd.exe") to build Boost (note that trying to build boost from within MSYS will not work):
> cd c:\msys\1.0\home\boost_1_33_1
> bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" install
  • Once the build completes, the Boost header files and libs will be located in c:\boost. You must add c:\boost\lib to your PATH.
