This is a subset of Boost v1.82.0 generated using the bcp tool. To get a list of boost modules guaranteed to exist, check the build script.
To update the Boost version (or to add a new library) follow these steps:
-
Download Boost and extract the package, then launch Powershell and
cd
to theboost_1_xx_0
directory. -
Build the
bcp
tool:.\bootstrap.bat .\b2 tools\bcp
-
Store the boost directory in a variable for later use:
$boost_dir = $pwd
. -
Add bcp to your path:
$env:Path += ";$boost_dir\bin.v2\tools\bcp\msvc-14.2\release\link-static\threading-multi"
(The correct output path should be printed by b2 during the build.) -
cd
to this repo's directory (...\externals\boost\
) -
Remove the existing boost from the repo:
rm -r boost
(This is only necessary if doing a Boost version upgrade, in case they removed any files in the new version.) -
Run
.\build.cmd $boost_dir
to build a new trimmed down distro. -
Add/remove all files in git and commit.
