How to use the Boost compiled libraries in Windows
As stated on the boost.org Getting Started for Windows page, most Boost libraries are header-based that require no separate compilation.

A previous post dealt with the separate compilation of Boost library binaries using BoostPro , but this package is no longer supported, alas.
