Below is the archive of the past builds of Boost I have done. They are here only for reference.
Download always the latest Precompiled Boost libraries, unless you need an older version.
Boost v1.60
- Updated: 15 February 2016
- Notes for library users:
- All statically built libraries link against the static runtimes (/MT instead of /MD).
- Boost.Locale and Boost.Regex are now statically linked against ICU libraries. This is currently unsupported upstream. [see tickets in Boost.Locale: 9685 and Boost.Regex: 12011]
- When using static Boost.Python libs, you may need to define BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB through your preprocessor.
- These libraries are exclusively built for Windows; no, they are not intended to work on Linux.
- Notes for rebuilding the libraries:
- Links:
- Source Code:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/ - Batch Script: build-boost_1.60.0.bat
- User Configuration: [user-config.jam] and [user-config64.jam]
- Patch(es): [boost_1.60.0.patch]
- Source Code:
- Instructions:
- You need Cygwin to use my build script.
- Download the batch script (build-boost_1.60.0.bat) and all user configuration files user-config.jam, user-config64.jam (and place all of them in the same directory).
- Download and decompress the official sources in their own directory.
- Follow the instructions at the bottom of this page on how to setup Python for 32- and 64-bit systems. (or look here)
- You will need a working installation of Python. You can obtain Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
- Download the Precompiled ICU libraries and decompress them in an appropriate directory.
- Check and modify the configuration options in the build-boost_X.XX.X.bat script.
- Build everything:
build-boost_X.XX.X.bat build all - Package everything:
build-boost_X.XX.X.bat package all

Python v2.7.8 (for Boost.Python)
Download the latest 2.x python release of Python. I have not tested using Python 3.x to build Boost.Python, but it may work as well. For this post I used v2.7.8 which can be found at:
You can extract the two files into convenient directories from the command line:
msiexec /a python-2.7.8.msi /qb TARGETDIR=I:\dev\python msiexec /a python-2.7.8.amd64.msi /qb TARGETDIR=I:\dev\python64
