My Project
Compiling and Installing STXXL with Visual Studio 2010 and Boost
Author

Prerequisites:

Unpack STXXL source code

Download and Install Boost

In summary, CMake only looks for Boost at a few locations: C:\Boost for headers and C:\Boost\lib for library files. While it is possible to instruct CMake to look elsewhere for the necessary files, the easier way is to just rename the directories as required. Otherwise, the Boost location must be specified to CMake by setting the variables BOOST_ROOT, BOOST_INCLUDEDIR and BOOST_LIBRARYDIR in the dialog box each time.
