There are lots of worked examples in the Boost.Math /libs/math/examples folder. Many are very simple and should provide a good sanity test.
You should also be able to run both the examples and the tests using the jamfile.v2 in /example (and also for a full workout in /test).
To do this open a command window in the /example folder and run b2.exe
preferably sending a log
file.
$ b2 > math_examples.log
Please report your findings.
I was able to compile Math examples without any problem. I tried compiling Boost Math and math tests and in both cases cc1plus.exe stops working (no useful information why it crashed). Compilation command: b2 install --with-math -a -q toolset=gcc-4.8.1 address-model=64 variant=debug,release threading=multi link=shared,static cxxflags=-std=c++11 I think this might actually be related to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6811240/cc1plus-exe-has-stopped-working- while-compiling-boost-spirit-code However, I don't know if it is because there is no useful information in the log output (I snipped out just one log entry, but there are tons of them): gcc.compile.c++ ..\build\boost\bin.v2\libs\math\build\gcc-mingw- 4.8.1\debug\address-model-64\threading-multi\assoc_laguerre.o "g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -mthreads -m64 - fvisibility=hidden -std=c++11 -Winvalid-pch -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 - DBOOST_BUILD_PCH_ENABLED -DBOOST_MATH_TR1_DYN_LINK=1 - I"..\build\boost\bin.v2\libs\math\build\gcc-mingw-4.8.1\debug\address-model- 64\threading-multi\..\src\tr1" -I"." -I"libs\math\src\tr1" -c -o "..\build\boost\bin.v2\libs\math\build\gcc-mingw-4.8.1\debug\address-model- 64\threading-multi\assoc_laguerre.o" "libs\math\build\..\src\tr1\assoc_laguerre.cpp" ...failed gcc.compile.c++ ..\build\boost\bin.v2\libs\math\build\gcc-mingw- 4.8.1\debug\address-model-64\threading-multi\assoc_laguerre.o...
