Does this exist? Can someone recomend one if it does. I was going to use minGW from the command line but Boost does not support minGW from the command line.
Figured I'd go ahead and try and install an IDE and Boost .
Edit Ok, none of these actually come with boost. I don't know of an IDE that does (and frankly I don't know why it should). Installing Boost is pretty simple as it is. I interpreted the question to be:
What nice windows IDE does support compiling with Boost?
VS Express 2010 C++: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express
Code::Blocks and
eclipse CDT work with MingW
see http://ascend4.org/Binary_installer_for_Boost_on_MinGW
nuwen.net (thanks, Benjamin!)
My MinGW distribution ("distro") currently contains GCC 4.6.1 and Boost 1.47.0.
mingw-7.2.exe (16.8 MB) : This is a self-extracting archive. It's incredibly easy to install; see How To Install below.
I find BoostPro the easiest way to install pre-compiled boost binaries (libs, DLLs) and compiler pre-requisites (headers etc). http://www.boostpro.com/download/ (it's an installer that downloads whatever Boost modules you select and unzips them wherever you've told it to). All you need to do after that to use it is add the lib and include paths to your IDE/compiler. I personally recommend Visual Studio for Windows.

The official Arduino IDE has some nice features, such as the board and library management, which works relatively well. However, when it comes to building. It only supports .ino files, while my project has .hpp and .cpp files, just like any regular C++ project. I tried things like the VS Code plugin for Arduino, but that also uses .ino files.
The only alternative I found is Sloeber, which is an Eclipse plugin, and it has the usual problem of Eclipse plugins that I can either install it or not. I had a previous version installed, but when I tried to update it, it completely broke my Eclipse installation. I tried installing the latest version, but it doesn't work.
Is there any alternative to sloeber? I'd prefer something that can be used from the command line, but an IDE is just fine too.

Question is - how to develop on Windows platform with comfort, using CMake as primary configuration tool. What I mean is IDE or something, that parse CMake config and help you to include external hpp files for example. I know that Qt Creator can (it support MSVC compiler), but Qt Creator sometimes fail to save file with error "Can't write to disk. Is it full". Seems like bug. And that's all.
What I mean is not generate .sln for Visual Studio.
Also I tried VS 2017 RC, but its crashing constantly with my project.
P.S. I tried Visual Studio with separate .sln, but it's really uncomfortably to support two different configs.
Thanks
Try out KDevelop 5 for Windows, it has great CMake support, as well as Clang based language features.

I know, it sounds ridiculous but I was asked to make an application backwards-compatible with win98. Specifically, I am interested in the boost-thread library that I have used. So, where can I find information about which version of the boost libraries is compatible with which operating system?
It depends on which version of Boost you are interested in.
You can go through the Boost version history and search the Release Notes for one that lists a compiler that supports Win98.
A quick search hints that this is likely to be MSVS 2005. This means Visual C++ 8.0.
The latest version of boost that I've found to list this version of VC++ as a supported (and targetted) compiler is boost 1.52.0.
The Boost Thread library has been around since version 1.25.0, so this seems like an acceptable candidate.
Conveniently, the link to download the source code (of any particular version) are also provided on the version history page.
See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/installation.html
It requires XP or newer, and at least VC8.

Recently I downloaded Qt 5.6
I didn't knew that installing visual studio is necessary to build with Qt.
I have a poor internet connection and somehow managed to download Qt. But now is it necessary to install visual studio of 7 GiBs which is nearly impossible for me to download with my shitty kind of internet? I had searched on google and found that MinGW can be used to build with Qt. Please help me to configure it.
You can download a pre-build version of Qt, building it yourself is not necessary or recommended for beginners:
http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.0/
The qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.0.exe comes with MinGW 4.9.2 bundled.
Building Qt from sources can take many hours on a slow machine, and potentially fail for a number of reasons, also it has 3rd party requirements such as perl and python.

I'm fully aware of this question asking for the same thing. That question is closed and rather old. Accepted answer suggests rather complicated way of making your own cross-compiler and it requires cygwin.
Maybe now there are some other, simpler ways of doing this?
Actually, there is.
If you want cross-compile for linux on ARM, you can use linaro toolchain, which is available for windows. It doesn't require cygwin.
If you want cross-compile for linux on x86, that's a bit of a problem. The only ready-to-use toolchain (apart pre-built solution in that answer) that I'm aware of is "cross-compile tools" for Intel Edison (here). There are some drawbacks to it:
It will compile 32-bit linux binary
Version for windows 64-bit requires cygwin
Version for Windows 32-bit doesn't require cygwin but contains case-sensitive filenames (i.e. there are some files with names that differ only in case and windows will consider them the same file). You may have to make your Windows case-sensitive.
Windows binaries will be at "sysroots\x86_64-pokysdk-mingw32\usr\bin\i586-poky-linux"
To use edison toolchain you have to provide it with sysroot option for compilation and linking, something like this:
"i586-poky-linux-g++.exe" --sysroot=../../../../core2-32-poky-linux
ELLCC is available as a binary download for Windows, Linux, and Macs. It doesn't require cygwin, and can build Linux programs for several targets, including ARM. It is based on the clang/LLVM compiler.
