Download and unpack Boost Source
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost_1_38_0.tar.bz2 tar xvf boost_1_38_0.tar.bz2 cd boost_1_38_0
./configure --help ./configure --with-libraries=date_time,filesystem,iostreams,program_options,regex,system,thread
Speed up the build of Boost by only doing the libraries and versions required. ADD additional config to the BJAM_CONFIG line as follows:
nano Makefile
BJAM_CONFIG= xxxxxxxxxxxxx -j4 variant=release link=shared
Build and install Boost
make sudo make install
Centos - Add "/usr/local/lib" to the list of lib directories to ensure that the boost libs can be found.
sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf
Ensure the new boost libraries are registered for use.
sudo /sbin/ldconfig
Ensure boost includes can be found. This step might be eliminated in a better Exodos installer.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/boost-1_38/boost /usr/local/include/boost
