Requirements for the build process

TSDB depends on a few other libraries that you will have to install before attempting to built it. You'll need these things:

• HDF5, version 1.8.5-patch1 or greater
• The Boost C++ Library, version 1.45 or greater
• TinyXML++ (aka TiCPP)

Building Boost

You want to build the Boost libraries with MS Visual C++ 2008 (version 9.0). That version only has multi-threaded shared libraries, hence the threading=multi property. You also want to use use the shared MSVC runtime library, hence the runtime-shread. Build with debugging symbols for now too, it will make it easier to debug the library.
