Boost with Borland C++ Builder

Question

Has anybody used the Boost library in Borland C++ Builder? Is there any online resource of building it and using it in Borland C++ Builder? The boost documentation is very brief about the specific task.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

XE and XE2 come with Boost 1.39. Most, but not all, of the header only libraries work.

Compiling a newer boost would be quite an exercise I think.

Answer 2

I've compiled boost 1.33 for borland c++ builder 6 by next steps:

1. First, I've downloaded and extracted the boost-jam-3.1.18-1-ntx86;
2. Downloaded and extracted boost library 1.33
3. Copied bjam.exe to the extracted boost root folder;
4. Run bjam with: bjam -sTOOLS=borland stage;

Most of the components were compiled.
