How to link to all boost library by command line ?

[thecpp]

I'm new to Linux. Under Windows, I use Visual C++ to build my app with boost libraries. However under Ubuntu, I got some problems. I did some google search and I find out that to link a specific library, for example :

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>

void hello()
{
	std::cout << "Hello world, I'm a thread!" << std::endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	boost::array< int, 4 > ary;

	boost::thread thrd( &hello );
	thrd.join();
	return 0;
}

On terminal I use this :

g++ ex1.cpp -o ex1 -lboost_thread

It worked, but I want a more general way to handle this. How could I link all my libraries so that I don't have to remember all the -lboost_...
Or could anyone show me a makefile use to compile C++ with boost libraries.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks everybody !

#makefile

all:
g++ ex1.cpp -o ex1 -lboost_thread
clean:
rm ex1

then put that in the same directory as your source file, and type make.

- Thanks meton_magis. I'm really frustrated with boost-library. I used openGL, gtk+ and gktmm...without any difficulty of compilation and installation. But with boost, I couldn't find a way to get through it. I did a lot of google search but I never find a tutorial show how to install boost and build boost( even boost.org ), the way they describe is hard to understand and follow. For example, some of the examples I got compiled, some didn't.
- Could you show me how to install boost 1.37.0 from scratch ? I really want to learn boost but I always get trouble installing and compiling it.

I have no idea how you would do that. I would suggest using your distrobution's package manager to find and install it.
