Build boost 1.45 with VC++ 2008 on Windows XP and gcc on Ubuntu

本文介绍如何在Windows和Ubuntu环境下配置并编译Boost库。包括设置Qt、Python环境变量，创建批处理文件简化编译流程，以及在Ubuntu中使用特定命令避免错误。提供了从配置到完成编译的详细步骤。

On Windows, add the following to G:/src/boost_1_45_0/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

using qt : C://Qt//4.6.3 ;

create a batch file with the following content:

call "%VS90COMNTOOLS%/../../vc/bin/vcvars32.bat"

cd /d G:/src/boost_1_45_0

call bootstrap.bat

set temp_time=%TIME%

SET ICU_PATH=D:/opensource/icu4c-4_4_1-Win32-msvc9/icu

bjam.exe --toolset=msvc stage --without-mpi --build-type=complete -sBZIP2_INCLUDE=D:/opensource/bzip2-1.0.5 -sBZIP2_SOURCE=D:/opensource/bzip2-1.0.5 -sZLIB_INCLUDE=D:/opensource/zlib-1.2.5 -sZLIB_SOURCE=D:/opensource/zlib-1.2.5

echo "build finished" >> buildtime.txt

@echo start at %temp_time% >> buildtime.txt

@echo stop at %TIME% >> buildtime.txt

It took 63 minutes, used 9 GB disk.

On ubuntu

unzip boost_1_45_0.tar.bz2 to /d4/src/boost_1_45_0

run bootstrap.sh

onega@ub-laptop:/d4/src/boost_1_45_0$ ./bootstrap.sh

onega@ub-laptop:/d4/src/boost_1_45_0$ ./bjam --build-type=complete --layout=tagged stage

start at 11:48

finished at 13:02

libraries are copied to /d4/src/boost_1_45_0/stage/lib.

I shared a NTFS drive between Windows and Ubuntu so that I just need to keep one copy of boost (and many other) files. Build boost.log without specifying toolset on ubuntu leads to some msvc related errors. Anyway, the following command worked for me.

onega@ub-laptop:/d4/src/boost_1_45_0$ ./bjam --with-log --toolset=gcc variant=debug,release define=BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK --layout=tagged stage
