wget -O boost_1_54_0.tar.bz2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.54.0/boost_1_54_0.tar.bz2 r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boost.org%2Fusers%2Fhistory%2Fversion_1_54_0.html&ts=1375162670&use_mirror=jaist

解压：

tar --bzip2 -xf ./boost_1_54_0.tar.bz2

开始编译，全部编译耗时太多，所以我仅选择我需要的库：

先用下面的命令查看有多少库可以编译：

./bootstrap.sh --show-libraries
Building Boost.Build engine with toolset gcc... tools/build/v2/engine/bin.linuxx86_64/b2

The following Boost libraries have portions that require a separate build
and installation step. Any library not listed here can be used by including
the headers only.

The Boost libraries requiring separate building and installation are:
- atomic
- chrono
- context
- coroutine
- date_time
- exception
- filesystem
- graph
- graph_parallel
- iostreams
- locale
- log
- math
- mpi
- program_options
- python
- random
- regex
- serialization
- signals
- system
- test
- thread
- timer
- wave

然后就编译我要的库：

./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=system,filesystem,log,thread
Building Boost.Build engine with toolset gcc... tools/build/v2/engine/bin.linuxx86_64/b2
Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex ... not found.
Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam...

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

./b2

To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:

- Command line help:
./b2 --help

- Getting started guide:
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

- Boost.Build documentation:
http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html

然后运行下面的命令完成编译。

./b2

耐心等待。不过因为不是编译所有库。时间会少很多。以后需要再来编译。很快看到结果：

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

/usr/src/boost_1_54_0

The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

/usr/src/boost_1_54_0/stage/lib

忘记安装了。再运行./b2 install 命令，默认安装在

/usr/local/lib目录下

头文件在

/usr/local/include/boost目录下
