[section:using Using Boost.Asio]
[heading Supported Platforms]
The following platforms and compilers have been tested:
* Win32 and Win64 using Visual C++ 7.1 and Visual C++ 8.0.
* Win32 using MinGW.
* Win32 using Cygwin. (`__USE_W32_SOCKETS` must be defined.)
* Linux (2.4 or 2.6 kernels) using g++ 3.3 or later.
* Solaris using g++ 3.3 or later.
* Mac OS X 10.4 using g++ 3.3 or later.
* QNX Neutrino 6.3 using g++ 3.3 or later.
[/ * Win32 using Borland C++Builder 6 patch 4.]
[heading Dependencies]
The following libraries must be available in order to link programs that use
Boost.Asio:
* Boost.System for the `boost::system::error_code` and
`boost::system::system_error` classes.
* Boost.Regex (optional) if you use any of the [link
boost_asio.reference.read_until `read_until()`] or [link
boost_asio.reference.async_read_until `async_read_until()`] overloads that take
a `boost::regex` parameter.
* [@http://www.openssl.org OpenSSL] (optional) if you use Boost.Asio's SSL
support.
Furthermore, some of the examples also require the Boost.Thread,
Boost.Date_Time or Boost.Serialization libraries.
[note With MSVC or Borland C++ you may want to add `-DBOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB`
and `-DBOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB` to your project settings to disable autolinking of
the Boost.Date_Time and Boost.Regex libraries respectively. Alternatively, you
may choose to build these libraries and link to them.]
[heading Building Boost Libraries]
You may build the subset of Boost libraries required to use Boost.Asio and its
examples by running the following command from the root of the Boost download
package:
[pre
bjam --with-system --with-thread --with-date_time --with-regex --with-serialization stage
]
This assumes that you have already built `bjam`. Consult the Boost.Build
documentation for more details.
[/
[heading Compiling Programs With Boost.Asio]
Consider the following minimal Boost.Asio program [^simple.cpp]:
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
int main()
{
boost::asio::ip::tcp::iostream s("www.boost.org", "http");
s << "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n";
s << "Host: www.boost.org\r\n";
s << "\r\n" << std::flush;
std::cout << s.rdbuf();
return 0;
}
The following compiler commands may be used to build the program (note that the
name of the `boost_system` library may vary depending on the compiler version):
