 libraries I built up in VS 2017, I guess, cannot be usable for GCC, so it may be necessary to rebuild them for boost 1.65.1 for GCC. Could you guys show me how to build them?

Hi,

check out MSYS2: http://www.msys2.org/
It comes with GCC 7.2 (including OpenMP support) and prebuilt packages of Boost 1.64.0.
