Precompiled Boost.Thread libs for Linux?

I see references to pre-compiled Boost libs but I'm unable to find them. I'm interested in the latest Boost.Thread for Linux. Can someone tell me where to find this? Thanks.

I'm not aware of any pre-compiled libs. Try asking on a mailing list for your linux distro. It's not too hard to build the libs from source though.

Your distribution's package manager should have the boost libs in an appropriate format. With the way the C++ ABI works, it's not feasible for Boost to provide binaries, since there are too many possible combinations of compiler and library and flags.

It depends on your distro but whichever package manager you use, you should be able to simply search for "boost". Typically, the "boost-dev" or "boost-devel" package will give you the header files so you can compile your own code using boost. On Fedora FC7, yum lists the following: boost boost-devel boost-devel-static boost-doc The "boost" package installs the following: /usr/lib/libboost_date_time.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_date_time.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_iostreams.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_iostreams.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_program_options.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_program_options.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_serialization.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_serialization.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_signals.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_signals.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.so.2 /usr/lib/libboost_wserialization.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_wserialization.so.2 On Ubuntu 7.1 (Gutsy Gibbon) aptitude lists: boost-build libboost-date-time-dev libboost-date-time1.34.1 libboost-dbg libboost-dev libboost-doc libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-filesystem1.34.1 libboost-graph-dev libboost-graph1.34.1 libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-iostreams1.34.1 libboost-program-options-dev libboost-program-options1.34.1 libboost-python-dev libboost-python1.34.1 libboost-regex-dev libboost-regex1.34.1 libboost-serialization-dev libboost-serialization1.34.1 libboost-signals-dev libboost-signals1.34.1 libboost-test-dev libboost-test1.34.1 libboost-thread-dev libboost-thread1.34.1 libboost-wave-dev libboost-wave1.34.1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIQA/u/X5Z5iyVCbERAl5zAJ9PTnPkErrF/MIS3Zq1L3wPiKPtGACfW9vm vqDW75c0JexgKxelEsNXFxU= =sZ9G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
