For my next assignment I require threading in C++ and have read that the boost library for threading works fairly well. I’ve never added a custom library to Netbeans and was hoping someone could provide me some steps to follow in order to allow me to #include it and use it in my class.

So far I’ve downloaded the following:
Boost library from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.52.0/
(Not sure if it matters where I extract this too.. I’m assuming I need to set NetBeans to point at it somewhere within the properties of my package?)

NetBeans 7.2.1 C/C++ Installer for Windows from here: http://netbeans.org/downloads/start.html?platform=windows&lang=en&option=cpp

Compiling with: MinGW

Any help would be great.
Thanks!
