title: How to install Boost on Windows 7 with VS
body: <p>So I am trying for whole day to integrate Boost with Visual Studio (2008) on Windows 7.
  I firstly I went twice trough this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2629421/how-to-use-boost-in-visual-studio-2010">How to use Boost in Visual Studio 2010</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I searched over all (there are at least 3 of them) simiral topics and none of them worked.</p>
  
  <p>Some people proposed using this one : <a href="http://www.boostpro.com/download/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.boostpro.com/download/</a> but link is not active.
  Someone proposed to change runtime library to Multi-threaded DLL but is also didnt work.</p>
  
  <p>I just try to include <code>#include &lt;boost/thread.hpp&gt;</code> and got this error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc90-mt-s-1_53.lib'.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Before installing Boost the error was that it cannot find the <code>thread.hpp</code> so it seems like the Boost is installed somewhat correctly.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that  the libraries were not build while I was using the tutorial. How can I build them manually?</p>
