Build MinGW Boost
From K-3D
Build Boost
- Download the Boost JAM executable http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost-jam-3.1.13-1-ntx86.zip
- Unzip boost-jam-3.1.13-1-ntx86.zip, saving the bjam.exe file to the c:\msys\1.0\bin directory.
- Download the Boost source tarball http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2 - saving it to your c:\msys\1.0\home directory.
- Start MSYS, and extract the Boost sources:
$ 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.
