Title: Compiling Boost and CodeBlocks(wiki failes)
Post by: Master on November 08, 2010, 01:18:59 pm

hello all .
im planning to install the latest version of Boost libraries on my win7 machine .
i went to the CB wiki for this and tried the instructions . but unfortunately it seems that they are wrong! and or atleast wont work under win7 .
would anyone do me a favor and tell me how to go about it ? also fixes that wiki too ?
( and actually that wiki with pictures would be alot better , even a video on youtube? may be a good idea).
Thank you in advance

(....even a video on youtube...)

/irony
Or best a genie that will setup it for you?
Learn the basics mate, then your life as a programmer will be easier...

Do you want to link to boost libs or you want to use header only libs.
If it is the latter adding a search paths for includes is enough.
If it is the former you need to build boost libs, which is tough :)

p.s. probably, it is a good idea to post the link to the wiki page...

thanks for the response :)
but why are you so harsh ?
that was just a suggestion . using video , the effort is minimized , you dont have to type anything , just record and publish it .
and aside from that , thats just another kind of walkthrough ! , there was a walkthrough , created solely for the guys like me to configure CB with boost , so i as the user who needs to know , expressed my suggestion to improve the way the information is provided , do you have a problem with that ? (o_O)
if you think providing information for using the IDE that someone is making, and the participation of user in its development such as giving ideas, etc is just something useless , think again! if not!
 atleast try not to make fun of any one having a problem !
and about using boost . yes i know i need to build boost in order to be able to use the whole package .
so i went to the Boost documentation section , they redirected me to the IDE specific methods which the creators made ! so thats why i went to the wiki , and followed the instructions there , and i failed ! because the wiki guide wouldnt work on win7!
thats all.
now any help ?

Section 3 from the guide looks OK.
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=BoostWindowsQuickRef#Add_Boost_to_an_existing_project_in_Code::Blocks

I don't know anything about compiling boost on windows, I use it in Headers Only mode.

p.s. Probably is a good idea to learn how to use the shift button on you keyboard.
