How do I install the boost library to my MinGW compiler?

Question

I\'m compiling from the command line using g++ on a Windows MinGW installation. How do I get boost...conceptually or if it is easy...what do I need to download and install?

I know this is an old question but for future reference for anybody coming to this page try this website, http://nuwen.net/mingw.html

They have done all the hard work so you don't have to. The most recent distribution on this page has boost 1_52_0 (which is the latest version on the boost website as I'm writing this) including the separately compiled libraries (e.g. boost thread, boost regex etc) which I beleive you're asking for
