Trouble getting boost library

When installing MSVC there will generally be something like "Visual Studio XXXX Command Prompt" in your start menu. Use it, unlike a normal shell it will have the MSVC executables in the path and probably include several environment variables not normally set. Boost will use them to detect the compiler.
Navigate to the directory where you have unpacked Boost. Call bootstrap to build bjam. Then actually compile boost. How you actually do that is a question of what exactly you need, one of my lines is

bjam --stagedir=. --build-dir=./build-dir variant=release,debug threading=multi link=static runtime-link=static,shared --toolset=msvc stage

But that's basically just following what is already described on the Boost page on how to build it.

I couldn't find how to build it on their home page. If you could refer me what each setting means so i could build appropriately for me it.

What i need is dynamic debug and release. for other settings i am unfamiliar what is their purpose.

Or is boost only static so i cant build dynamically?

EDIT:: Found this page

http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/invocation.html thanks google.

Its building will see if its of any use

I highly doubt you want dynamic debug and release. You probably want a debug and release build using the dynamic runtime, not having a DLL for each of Boost's sublibraries. In this case the line you probably want is

bjam --stagedir=. --build-dir=./build-dir variant=release,debug threading=multi link=static runtime-link=shared --toolset=msvc stage

which will have to do a bit less work compared to the above line.

Edit: For the record, the official build tutorial is here while an explanation of the parameters is here.

Personally, I don't bother building boost separately. For the libraries that aren't header only I just add the relevant source files from libs//src to my project. This requires uncommenting the #define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB line in boost/config/user.hpp or adding the equivalent line for the specific library like python or filesystem. For completeness for some libraries you can also get a preprocessor definition to disable dllexport on functions, but this isn't necessary for compilation.

I will try that out thanks.

My build problem. I tried to include #include this is output

1>------ Build started: Project: Test, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1> main.cpp
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc110-mt-gd-1_53.lib'
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

EDIT::
What i asked how to copy files around at this post. http://www.gamedev.net/topic/640771-coping-files-around-help/

Best answer was using boost::filesystem.

I only need boost::filesystem part. Its cross platform so i decided to use it.

I currently have .dll files from other libs i am using so it wouldn't be problem including those i need in as well.

I just don't want issues for people if they will want to play the game i am making as(downloading and installing components because game wont run) i try to provide everything. Here starts the problem, i don't know what are advantages and disadvantages of static or dynamic libs or with sould i use in this case.

If you wanna help guide me id be much . Else i will just do with what i have.

Either you have not compiled Boost properly for the configuration you are using or the Boost libraries are not in your library search path.

I got it working.

Thanks on the build settings it works. Guessing link had to be static not shared.
