boost在vc9(vc2008)下的安装

这几天写代码需要序列化自定义类，类的定义可以抽象为vector<vector<T> >。我本想通过重载operator<<和operator>> 来实现序列化。但是写入是写入了，读就读不出来了。在读完第一个对象之后istream的tellg()返回了-1，导致后续的对象无法读取。后来我使用boost很方便的就完成了序列化的工作。但是我使用的编译环境是VC9，boost还没有针对vc9的编译设置，所以编译安装还是花了点时间。

针对VC9，下载的boost需做如下修改：（+为需增加的行，）

然后就可以编译了，但是在编译过程中会有很多的warning C4819: The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (936). 原因是boost源代码的注释中有很多非low ASCII的字符，都是人名和版权注释。在编译boost库时可以不管，但是在编译包含了boost的头文件的项目时却很烦人。可以在project properties,   C/C++,    Advanced,   Disable Specific warnings中填入4819关闭这个警告。
