  20. <h2>Overview</h2>
  21. <p> Most of Boost.Iostreams can be used simply by including appropriate
  22. headers. This is true, for instance, of all the <a href="quick_reference.html#core">core
  23. components</a> — including <a href="guide/generic_streams.html#stream"><code>stream</code></a>,
  24. <a href="guide/generic_streams.html#stream_buffer"><code>stream_buffer</code></a>,
  25. <a href="classes/filtering_stream.html"><code>filtering_stream</code></a>
  26. and <a href="classes/filtering_streambuf.html"><code>filtering_streambuf</code></a>
  27. — and of about two thirds of the concrete <a href="quick_reference.html#filters">Filters</a>
  28. and <a href="quick_reference.html#devices">Devices</a>. Some components,
  29. however, are implemented in <code>.cpp</code> files; in addition, the <a
  30. href="classes/regex_filter.html">regular expression filters</a> depend
  31. on <a href="../../regex/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Regex</a>, and
  32. the compressions filters rely on the third-party libraries zlib (<a class="bib_ref"
  33. name="gailly" href="bibliography.html#gailly">[Gailly]</a>),
  34. libbz2 (<a class="bib_ref" name="seward" href="bibliography.html#seward">[Seward]</a>),
  35. libzstd (<a class="bib_ref" name="seward" href="bibliography.html#Zstandard">[Zstandard]</a>),
  36. and liblzma (<a class="bib_ref" name="collin" href="bibliography.html#collin">[Collin]</a>).
  37. Note that liblzma refers to the version from xz-utils which is the version available in
  38. for example Linux distributions, not the liblzma from the LZMA SDK from 7zip.
  39. To obatin zlib and libbz2, see the instructions <a href="classes/zlib.html#installation">here</a>
  40. and <a href="classes/bzip2.html#installation">here</a>. </p>
  41. <p> The components which are implemented in <code>.cpp</code> or which rely
  42. on external libraries can be built in two ways: by adding the appropriate
  43. <code>.cpp</code> files to your IDE project or makefile, or by using <a href="../../../tools/build/index.html"
  44. target="_top">Boost.Build</a>. </p>
  45. <a name="ide"></a>
  46. <h2>Building with an IDE or Makefile</h2>
  47. <p> The following table shows which headers contain components defined in <code>.cpp</code>
  48. files. If your application includes one of these headers, you'll need to
  49. add the corresponding <code>.cpp</code> files to you IDE project or
  50. makefile, and to define the preprocessor symbol <code>BOOST_IOSTREAMS_NO_LIB</code>.
  51. In addition, if the <code>.cpp</code> file depends on an external
  52. library, you'll have to build it from the source or link to a pre-built
  53. binary. </p>

  106. <p> To build with <a href="../../../tools/build/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Build</a>,
  107. run <i>b2</i> from the directory <code>libs/iostreams/build</code>, or
  108. from the Boost root directory. </p>
  109. <p>If you want to use the compression filters when building iostreams, you
  110. have two choices. You can setup the zlib, bzip2, zstd and/or LZMA toolsets in Boost
  111. Build in a jamfile, preferably user-config.jam, as documented in <a target="_top"
  112. href="../../../tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html#bbv2.reference.tools.libraries.zlib">Boost.Build</a>.
  113. Note that building from source is not supported for LZMA.
  114. Alternatively you can let iostreams setup the zlib, bzip2, zstd and/or LZMA toolsets
  115. for you using default values. The former is preferred, especially if your
  116. zlib and/or bzip2 installations cannot be found by the iostreams setup.</p>
  117. <p> On most UNIX systems, it should not be necessary to setup the zlib,
  118. bzip2, zstd and/or lzma toolsets since the zlib, libbz2, libzstd and liblzma headers and binaries are
  119. already installed in locations where they will be found automatically. On
  120. Windows the zlib, bzip2, zstd and/or LZMA binaries need to be in the PATH, else they
  121. will not ordinarily be found by default, so it is always a good idea under
  122. Windows to setup the zlib, bzip2, zstd and/or LZMA toolsets in your own jamfile.</p>
  123. <p>You can turn off compression filters when building iostreams by passing
  124. one of the <a target="_top" href="../../../tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/overview/invocation.html#bbv2.overview.invocation.options">Boost
  125. Build variables</a> in the table below, defined to 1, using the -s
