Boost install

[RDSK]

Hi
when I installed the boost zip file there was no stage\lib subdirectory. Do I need to compile the source code?
I tried using command given but get error below. Please help with error.

C:\boost_1_64_0\boost_1_64_0>.\b2 –stagedir=.\lib\x64\lib –build-type=complete toolset=msvc-14.0 \ address-model=64 –with-test –with-system –with-filesystem \ –with-serialization –with-regex –with-date time stage

Hi

I believe I have missed an underscore after checking the guide, ie date_time. I followed the boost.org instructions and so ran only the command ./b2
After seeing your equivalent string with many arguments, I ran that and hope that the necessary boost files were updated.
given that boost.org suggests running only ./b2 will that be sufficient for ORE?
