Hi John, (continued below) John Christopher wrote:
Hello Maybe you could add a few lines to the docs on how to install the library. My apologies if the section already exists. I dowloaded the zip and I am not sure what exactly I should do. Maybe it is obvious to Boost developpers but for outsiders of my kind that could be useful. Thanks

The documentation can be found here: http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/libs/time_series/doc/html/index.html
The code is in time_series.zip, which can be downloaded here: http://boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?directory=Math%20-%20Numerics
Any suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
Good suggestion. I'll add an installation section to the docs. The library is header-only, so there is no lib to compile and link to. Boost.Time_series requires either Boost 1.34 or Boost CVS HEAD. If you already have a Boost installation with bjam, then just unpack time_series.zip into some empty directory, set a BOOST_ROOT environment variable to point at the root of your boost installation, and then you should be able to compile the example program (libs/time_series/example) with "bjam --v2" If you're a Visual C++ user, the example program has a .vcproj file, which will also get you going, so long as you set the BOOST_ROOT environment variable. If you're winging it, you just need to set the include directories like this: -I /home/eric/time_series/boost/backports \ -I /home/eric/time_series \ -I $BOOST_ROOT The backports include path must come before $BOOST_ROOT, and is only necessary if you are compiling against Boost 1.34. (It's not needed if you're compiling against HEAD.) HTH, -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
