You need have your boost unpacked on your disk, at least staged following modules: * system * date_time * random * unit_test_framework Then use following instruction to gen makefile or VS project. ```bash cmake -DBOOST_LIB=`` -DBOOST_INCLUDE=`` -DBOOST_VER:STRING=`` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ./ ``` Then run `make` or open by VS. For example I've installed boost 1.57.0 at `D:\boost_1_57_0` and staged the static lib at `D\boost_1_57_0\build\lib` then the command should be: ```bash cmake -DBOOST_LIB=D:\boost_1_57_0\build\lib -DBOOST_INCLUDE=D:\boost_1_57_0 -DBOOST_VER:STRING=1.57.0 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ./ ``` In this case(Windows) CMake will create a VS project under `./test` folder. Open in VS and run it.
