I have a question regarding the installation of the boost libraries. Is there a package that I can use the sudo apt-get install to install this package. I searched all of the questions in this forum and using the commands sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-dev I cannot install theh package with this. Also, I can download it from boost.org but I do not know the correct path to install it too. I would prefer to install it using the sudo apt-get install commands if possible. I am using Ubuntu 9.04. Thanks.

Install Boost (Windows) Download the source code from http://www.boost.org/users/download/. Extract in a Boost folder located at C:\ or C:\Program files so that CMake find-modules can detect it. Invoke the command line and navigate to the extracted folder (e.g. cd C:\Boost\boost_1_63_0 ).
Build boost from sourceDownload and extract Boost into any directory. Switch to that directory. Prepare the installation, selecting only the libraries that need to be built (this does not affect the header-only libraries). Select a prefix to install Boost to.
Boost is a set of libraries for the C++ programming language that provides support for tasks and structures such as linear algebra, pseudorandom number generation, multithreading, image processing, regular expressions, and unit testing. It contains 164 individual libraries (as of version 1.76).
If you want to run with the latest version, you can do the bjam install as mentioned by Ralf, but I suggest you build a 'pseudo' package so you can
Here is how to do that:
mkdir -pv /tmp/boostinst cd /tmp/boostinst/ wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.66.0/boost_1_66_0.tar.bz2/download' tar xf download cd boost_1_66_0/ ./bootstrap.sh --help ./bootstrap.sh --show-libraries ./bootstrap.sh checkinstall ./b2 install On new boost version there is other way:
sudo apt-get update wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.50.0/boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2/download' tar xf download cd boost_1_50_0 ./bootstrap.sh ./b2 install If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
