Hello, I previously managed to write data to a gzipped file using the following code structure (it's an example of course, the "memblock" is actually filled with real data and the real filename is specified elsewhere).

#include <boost/iostreams/filtering_streambuf.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/copy.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/filter/gzip.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

namespace io = boost::iostreams;

int size = 1000;
char* memblock = new char [size];

io::filtering_ostream out;
out.push(io::gzip_compressor());
out.push(io::file_descriptor_sink("c:/outfile.gz"));
out.write (memblock, size);
