Compile boost on Windows

bootstrap.bat
b2.exe --with-system --with-thread --with-date_time --with-regex --prefix=<path>

Visual Studio Project

• Open the visual studio project from project/netlib.vcxproj
• Compile boost library (preferably version 1.55) and crpto++ libraries
• Compile the ed25519 project present in lib/ed25519 folder and copy the ed25519.lib file in lib folder
• copy cryptlib.lib file in lib folder
• copy lib/ed25519 folder and crypto++ library folder to include/ folder (for .h include files)
• Open project properties and add include/ folder, <path to boost library> to Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories
• Add <path to compiled boost libs> and lib folder to Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Additional Library Directories
• Choose files from examples and add to project to run test one by one
• Note that the cryptopp library should be extracted to folder named cryptopp
