go to your boost directory (c:\boost or whatever) and run: bootstrap.bat and then bjam.exe

It should generate the .lib files in $BOOST\stage\lib (about 850 MB :P)

You can use the tool bjam.exe (just search for it in the www and download it). When downloaded and extracted, just type bjam toolset=msvc-10.0 --build-type=complete stage from the windows console in your boost directory. Then reference the include and lib directories within Visual Studio:

  • Include: boost_1_44_0 (plus possibly boost_1_44_0\boost)
  • Lib: boost_1_44_0\stage\lib
