[Insight-users] Fwd: using boost with ITK

[Michael Jackson]

the libraries should be in C:/Developer/i386/boost_1_41/lib and not in  
stage. FindBoost expects and "Install" of boost.

This is the command I use to compile and install boost on Windows 7  
x64, Visual Studio 9 from a "Visual Studio 32 bit" command prompt:

This assumes that "bjam.exe" is on your path somewhere.

bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 --with-test --with-filesystem --with- 
program_options --with-date_time --with-thread --prefix=C:\Developer 
\VS9\boost_1_41 variant=release,debug threading=multi link=static  
runtime-link=shared install


Adjust as necessary for your tastes (like adding the file_system AND  
system libraries).
