Boost
========================================
See:
* http://www.boost.org
* http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/
* http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/windows.html
* http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

You can directly install Boost binaries for Windows from
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/winbin/files/boost/

If you want to build it on your own. Please follow these steps:

1. Download boost archive (let's call it BOOST.ZIP) for your system from:
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/
or get latest directly:
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/latest/download?source=files

2. Unpack the downloaded boost archive BOOST.ZIP to some directory (e.g. HOME_DIR).

3. Go to HOME_DIR.

4. Run `bootstrap` in HOME_DIR.
    bootstrap.bat
        or
    ./booststrap.sh

Note: Run `bootstrap --help` for more info.

5. Run `b2` in HOME_DIR.
    b2 --with-log install
        or
    ./b2 --with-log install

    5.1
        a. If needed, you can run `b2` with additional parameters to specify the installation directory
        b2 --prefix="C:\lib\boost" install
    
        b. In this case you'll have to add environment variables:
        BOOST_ROOT="c:\lib\Boost"
        BOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\lib\Boost\lib"

    5.2. You can install full Boost using:
        b2 --build-type=complete install
