Today I tried to get a connection to the mjpeg stream of my Axis P1346 network camera in C++. While searching the www I found the boost library which looks quite promising. The use under Windows with VS2008 is very simple.

• download and extract the newest version
• run the boostrap.bat in the main boost folder
• open Visual Studio command prompt
• change to main boost folder
• to compile the libs enter “bjam threading=multi –prefix=c:\boost install”
