1.首先下载安装包，然后解压，切换目录
wget -o boost_1_58_0.gar.gz http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.58.0/boost_1_58_0.tar.bz2/download
tar xf boost_1_58_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_58_0
2.编译前安装必要的库
sudo apt-get install mpi-default-dev # mpi related
sudo apt-get install libicu-dev # regular expresion related
sudo apt-get install python-dev # python dev related
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
3.编译安装boost
tar xf boost_1_58_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_58_0/
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 -a -sHAVE_ICU=1 # the parameter means that it support icu or unicode
sudo ./b2 install
4.测试boost是否安装成功
c++代码（testBoost.cpp）
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/timer.hpp>
using namespace boost;
int main()
{
timer t;
std::cout << "max timespan:" << t.elapsed_max() / 3600 << "h" << std::endl;
std::cout << "min timespan:" << t.elapsed_min() << "s" << std::endl;
std::cout << "now itme elapsed:" << t.elapsed() << "s" << std::endl;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
编译
g++ testBoost.cpp -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -o testBoost
./testBoost
运行结果
max timespan: ....
min timespan: ....
