Installation guide to Boost Quantlib Visual Studio 2008

For boost, this site is really usefulboostInstall

i disagree, that site sucks becuase it only compiles the boost libraries for microsoft enviroments, unless i am missing something.also, i recently re-formated my computer and was having build errors when i was trying to compile bjam with gcc ( if i am correct bjam was written in c)i couldnt find much about this online. has anyone else recently tried to install boost and had problems building bjam?

But it's easy to install on linux if you are a good command-line programmer.

Therefore the windows quantlib users/ developers tend to need a bit more support in terms of quantlib setup and install.

ya, and if your attempting to use boost,quantlib,and cygwin with g++ (like me), you seemed to be screwed

I only has MSVC 6.0. Does that mean I have no luck compiling Quantlib?
