Do I need to install Boost to build odeint?

459 views Asked by At

I am trying to solve ODE by using odeint package. The odeint website provides a download on their package. I downloaded the zip file included it in my project but it doesn't work.

I understand that if I download the whole boost package, it automatically includes odeint. I have succeeded on doing this.

But my question is "can I directly download the odeint files from odeint website and build it from there without installing the whole boost libraries??"

In our situation, we do not have enough time to ask students to download and build boost in class.

i.e. only download the odeint from the following website http://headmyshoulder.github.io/odeint-v2/downloads.html or Github link https://github.com/headmyshoulder/odeint-v2

No, you need to have the boost libraries. At least they need the headers need to be found. You can use odeint additional to the boost installation.

Nevertheless. If you use the latest version from boost you also get odeint, since it is contain in boost.
