How to Install Boost On Windows [With Pictures]

[Madness]

Since there is no known guide here on AC-Web on how to install Boost for TrinityCore or any other core, I decided to make one with pictures.

• Go to this link:

  Dear guest, please login or register to see this content.

  
  and download Boost. It's a ZIP file from Sourceforge.

• Create a new folder at the C drive called "local" (without quotes) and inside that folder, make a new folder called "boost_1_57_0" (without quotes)
  

  Dear guest, please login or register to see this content.

  
  

• Now, in the ZIP file, there is a folder called "boost_1_57_0". Open that folder and extract the content in the boost folder you created
  

• Open up the "Bootstrap.bat" file and a CMD will pup up and run the build of the program. Let it load until it's finished.

• Now, open up the Start menu, right click "Computer" then go to "Properties". Now at the left at the links, press "Advanced System Settings" and then "Environment Variables". Now press "New..." Now add the following information:
  
  Code:

  Variable Name: BOOST_ROOT
  Variable Value: C:\local\boost_1_57_0
  Now, save it.

• Now, do the same thing again but put this in the fields instead:
  
  Code:

  Variable Name: BOOST_DIR
  Variable Value: C:\local\boost_1_57_0

• Now restart your computer so we can be sure that the changes will take effect.

And there we go! Boost is installed!

FAQ

A: Install Visual C++ 2013 Express and Visual Studio 2013 Express. Make sure that the programs you install will be 32bit. If you install 64bitof the software, it won't work.
