Hello! I have some trouble to setup the Boost library with VC++ 2005. I am rather new to the library, so I could need some help. I have downloaded Version 1.33 and extracted the files to location A ("d:\programs\boost" in my case). Visual Studio is located in location B ("d:\programs\VS"). What is the best way to build the library files? I especially need the compiled library of the "signal" class. Since I have no experience with this bjam tool any help would be appreciated. I can't figure out how this works using the information from the project's website.. Best regards, Heiko

in short, set VC80_ROOT=d:\programs\VS\VC and make sure you do *not* have MSVCDir set before invoking bjam. More details at http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html
Since I have no experience with this bjam tool any help would be appreciated.
I assume you already have bjam.exe B.

You can download pre-compiled libraries provided by boost-consulting. The setup.exe will ask you which libs to download and for which compiler. Afterwards you only need to setup include directories and lib path in VC IDE. Link for the setup.exe: http://www.boost-consulting.com/download.html (click on installer link) With Kind Regards, Ovanes Markarian
Take a look at this article.
This would be sufficient.
Some other also have tried using boost and written about their experinces there.
