If you are doing modern C++ development these days you will be using the boost<\/a> libraries. I have started using the Raspberry Pi as a stand-in ARM platform for some smart-cam development while I wait for the actual hardware to become available and as such need to install boost. To this end, the boost 1.50 libs can be installed on wheezy as follows:
\n[crayon lang=”Shell”]
\nsudo apt-get install libboost1.50-all
\n[\/crayon]
\nNow for a little example of using and building with the libs, consider this little test program that uses the boost regex library: <\/p>\n

[crayon lang=”cpp”]<\/p>\n

#include
\n#include
\n#include <\/p>\n

int main() {<\/p>\n

std::string text(“a fat cat sat on the mat”);
\n boost::regex re(“\\\\w+”);<\/p>\n

boost::sregex_token_iterator i(text.begin(), text.end(), re, 0);
\n boost::sregex_token_iterator end;<\/p>\n

for( ; i != end ; ++i ) {
\n std::cout << *i << ' ';\n }\n\n std::cout << std::endl;\n\n return 0;\n\n}\n\n[\/crayon]\nIf we stick this code into a file called it.cpp then we can build it using C++0x (C++11 ish), the standard c++ lib and the boost regex lib like this:\n\n\n

 <\/div>\n

[crayon lang=”Shell”]
\n g++ -std=c++0x -lstdc++ -lboost_regex it.cpp
\n[\/crayon]
\nThis will output to a.out, which can then be executed like this:<\/p>\n

\r\n.\/a.out\r\n<\/pre>\n
