Actually i am very newbie trying to learn things.
I tried to to build it with bjam. i waited 2 hours for it to finish but it
did not finish and i closed it.
Then i found libboost_serialization-vc90-mt-gd-1_44.lib file on internet and
place it in boost home\lib directory. I also added it to visual studio
configuration linker-> input -> additional dependencies
i also set the include directory and additional library directory through
the configuration panel...

I still get problem..

is not there a simple way of using boost? (only serialization feature)
do anyone have to build it?
