Boost

Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.
For more info about Boost see: ​http://www.boost.org

Building Instructions

• obtain the latest version via svn export http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/ports/boost/trunk boost

• for full installation do b2 install
• if you only want to build certain libraries without installation for use with a certain application (you are trying to port), use
  b2 link=static --with-library_name, where library_name is the library to build
• a list of all libraries that could be built may be obtained via b2 --show-libraries
• as a requirement for boost_threads you need:
  • pthread from 27.03.2015 or better (yum install pthread/yum update pthread)

Reporting Bugs

Reporting bugs and requesting new features is done through the ticket system. You can view existing tickets, add comments to them and create new tickets using the corresponding buttons at the top of every page. If you want to submit a new bug or request a feature, please use the Search function first to make sure there is no ticket for this task already created.

Anonymous access to the ticket system has been restricted due to multiple attacks of stupid spammers we've been suffering from lately. In order to create a new ticket or comment the existing one, you need to login with your Netlabs login id. If you do not have a login id, you can request one at ​http://www.netlabs.org/en/site/member/member.xml. We are sorry for inconvenience, but at the present time this is the only way to avoid extremely annoying spam.
