1. Download and unpack Boost!
2. Open up a Visual Studio 2003 command prompt window (this is on the Start Menu entry for Visual Studio 2003, and has pre-run vcvars32.bat) and 'cd' to the root Boost directory. Execute the command
bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --prefix=c:\lib\boost
But to do this you need to build (and install someplace in your PATH) or download bjam first. Its not hard, but this may not be imediately obvious to the newbie. I really think the Getting Started guide is more than adequate, and is concise and easy to follow. There are gigantic yellow numbers next to the important steps. Perhaps an "ultra-quick-start for the command line averse" could be added, but really how much more hand-holding does one need? -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
