Build Litecoin (and other new alts) - include boost, etc

[thekidcoin]

So, I can only post in here because I'm a noob.  I am trying to compile litecoin, and some of the other new alts from source (Windows 7), and while I can compile the daemon exe, it always fails when launched, and says basically libboost-xxx is not installed on your system etc.

I know it has something to do with linking (I think).

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Code:

apt-get install libboost-all-dev

if i am not wrong

You trying  to compile on windows 7 ?..
You need to install the Boost dependencies, but thats not the only thing that needs to be done..

I haven't found anything that suggests that anybody has actually managed to do it.
