Could someone talk a beginner through installing boost thread and sockets on code blocks

You may be better off downloading a precompiled boost package from http://www.boostpro.com/download/ (for Visual Studio, if that's what you have).

you know what, im gonna get used to linux first before i try to understand this in windows, might seem simple to you guys, but i will need more of a basic understanding of computer systems in general, im pretty sure im missong vital knowledge somwhere else that i will need before i attempt this...or maybe its supposed to feel like that

[3qX21hU5]

In my opinion linux is going to help much if you can't understand how to use the cmd in general. You don't need linux to learn about command prompts you need need practice and a good tutorial or something.

oh its command prompt, i thought i was dealing with settings for codeblocks or the pc in order to install the code a certain way, i have no idea what those commands were, i just thought i was installing it somewhere, am i installing it to part of an existing library??
