title: How to build Boost::program_options
body: <p>I wanted to use boost::program_options. After I installed boost, I think that I have to build separatly program_options (<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html</a>). But I don't know how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to compile the C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_42\libs\program_options\example\first.cpp (<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/program_options/tutorial.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/program_options/tutorial.html</a>) but probably due to I didn't build the library I have this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_program_options-vc90-mt-gd-1_42.lib' 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: I used the installers supplied by BoostPro Computing so I skipped the installation of the binaries (<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#install-visual-studio-binaries" rel="noreferrer">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#install-visual-studio-binaries</a>)</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: I also followed the instructions at <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#build-from-the-visual-studio-ide" rel="noreferrer">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#build-from-the-visual-studio-ide</a></p>
