Installing Boost

  1. Download boost 1.63 zip file
  2. Unzip boost someplace and then set an environment variable named BOOST_ROOT that points to the folder you just unzippsed. It should point to the root folder that contains 'bootstrap.bat'.
  3. Open VS2015 x64 Native Command Prompt and cd over to the boost folder and run bootstrap.bat
  4. from that same location run b2 variant=debug,release link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi address-model=64 and wait about 20 minutes (coffee time :-). Note: On Linux you can drop the address-model=64.
