Boost version: 1.55.0 OS: Windows 8 IDE: Visual Studio 2010 Is there a good tutorial on building boost iostream with zlib on windows. I looked over reference manual but with no solution. I did download zlib dll and source code and made reference in visual studio. I have link error on gzip_decompressor();

I build all our Boost libs in our company using the following batch file. Iostreams is built using Zlib and Bzip2: @REM build bjam @call bootstrap.bat @REM BZIP2 files set NO_BZIP2=0 set BZIP2_INCLUDE=H:\bzip2-1.0.6\ set BZIP2_SOURCE=H:\bzip2-1.0.6\ @REM ZLIB files set NO_ZLIB=0 set ZLIB_INCLUDE=H:\zlib-1.2.7\ set ZLIB_SOURCE=H:\zlib-1.2.7\ @REM explicitly enable compression set NO_COMPRESSION=0 @REM the actual call to boost build b2 -j 8 --toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=32 --build-type=complete stage mkdir stage\Win32\ move stage\lib\* stage\Win32\ b2 -j 8 --toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=64 --build-type=complete stage mkdir stage\Win64\ move stage\lib\* stage\Win64\ Norbert
