Now that you have download and extract the whole library to a folder, c:\boost.

1. open the visual studio 2010 commandline window from the Start Menu, so that all VS2010 environments are pre-set for you.
2. navigate to c:\boost

3. Run bjam.exe, and wait. Alternatively, you can save the following 3 lines into a a file build.bat(as I do)

   bjam.exe link=static runtime-link=static threading=multi --layout=versioned stage

   bjam.exe link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi --layout=versioned stage

   bjam.exe link=shared runtime-link=shared threading=multi --layout=versioned stage and run build.bat, after the build, all libs are in .\stage

just a note, the latest trunk of boost is not building on 2010 yet.
