What can be done to run boost on Dev-C++?

For include-only libraries, you just need to set-up your project with the right include directory. For libraries with a library component, you need to build them with settings compatible to that of your IDE/compiler and link against them. The getting started guide of the documentation explains all of this.

What else can be used for boost?

Boost works with most C++ compilers, at least with the most recent versions (GCC, Clang, MSVC, Intel C++, others less well known).
