Over the last year, I've set up a small SourceForge "WinBin" project [1] for distributing Microsoft Windows binaries for Boost (and some other projects). The repository is sorted by Boost version, compiler version and shared vs. static linking. Each file archive contains pre-build boost in debug/release for both 32/64-bit, following a include/lib[64]/bin[64] folder structure. There also seems to be some other sources for pre-built boost around (e.g. https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/ and http://boost.teeks99.com/bin/). However, these do not seem to provide boost built for both static and shared linking. Also, they do not appear to adhere to the "quasi standard" include/lib[64]/bin[64] folder naming convention used by many libraries. Finally, they seem to lack information on which version of python (and possibly other 3rd party SW) they are compiled against. Therefore, I decided to set up my own boost-binaries webpage. Please let me know if you might be interested in either improving the "WinBin" project, or somehow joining forces to merge the various sources of Boost binaries into a single, more "authoritative" repository. I would be more than happy to shut WinBin down if "similar enough" binaries can be downloaded elsewhere. Thanks in advance, Fredrik Orderud [1] https://sourceforge.net/projects/winbin/files/boost/
