Boson can be found on the boson homepage.
Boson is also available on ftp.kde.org and all its mirrors, in the Incomings/ directory or in unstable/game tree.
In order to successfully compile and use boson, you need kde-qt-addon and kdelibs from KDE-2.0. Those libraries can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/. You also need Qt-2.1, that can be found either at the KDE site or on http://www.troll.no
In order to compile and install Boson on your system, type the following in the base directory of the Boson distribution:
% ./configure
% make
% make install
You will probably need to be root for the install stage.
You may need to add those arguments to ./configure if your qt2/kde2 are installed on non-standart places
Since Boson uses autoconf
you should have not trouble
compiling it.
Should you run into problems please report them to the the author at
