How to install filesystem library (boost)
Where can I download the library? I read description how to install it but there is that I should run bootstrap.bat but this calls files which does not exists like .\tools\build\v2\engine\bin.ntx86\b2.exe and similar
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/.
This is what you need to get started:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html
The filesystem library is one of the few libraries that requires a DLL so you'll need to compile Boost to generate that DLL.
Oh, by the way, the .\tools\build\v2... is in the archive that you download. Just extract it and you'll find it there.

I have the boost on disk already, also reading the documentation of filesystem library but I cannot find out how to built it - I guess I should create new Visual Studio project to create dynamic dll, but I have no idea what code to paste in the main cpp.
Please, either tell me which doc file and section should I read or gimme code which I need to build dll. Also I did not found the file b2.exe Maybe it is expected that I build it?
Jamfile.v2 - they say I can use it too and dont describe how....
