Here is an installer for [http://www.boost.org/ Boost] version 1.34.1 on MinGW using NSIS:

== Instructions for building Boost-1.41.0 on MinGW ==

''This page is currently being updated below...''

* make sure you have ~3G of spare space on your machine before starting this process -- building Boost takes '''lots''' of space.
* download the 3.1.17-ntx86 version of bjam from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-jam/3.1.17 here]
* unpack that zip file and, using MSYS, <tt>cp bjam.exe /mingw/bin</tt>.
* download and unpack the .tar.bz2 version of the 1.41.0 release of boost from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.41.0 here]
* enter the boost_1_41_0 directory via MSYS
* <tt>bjam --build-dir=boost-build --toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage release</tt>
* Go and make yourself several cups of tea
* <tt>bjam --build-dir=boost-build --toolset=gcc install</tt>

To create the binary package, unpack <a href="/images/5/50/Boost-mingw-scripts.tar.bz2" class="internal" title="Boost-mingw-scripts.tar.bz2">boost-mingw-scripts.tar.bz2</a>, enter the boost-mingw-scripts directory, and run <tt>scons</tt>. You will need to have SCons, Python and NSIS installed on your system. You may need to make some minor changes at the top of the SConstruct file first. Packaging takes a few minutes, owing to the ~5000 header files present in Boost.

The resulting binary installation of Boost will contain only the static libraries for Boost, enabling you to easily distribute any binaries that you link against it.
