Hi,
I'm packaging some software for distribution, and the software depends upon the 'program_options' library.
I don't want to assume that the user has boost installed, or ever jam.
So I was wondering about the potential for automagically building and
using the 'program_options' library if it is not already present on the
user's system.
I would include the source files in libs/program_options/, and write a small Makefile for it.
I would also include all the Boost headers.
Is this sufficient, even though it wouldn't run the Boost configure script to determine system-specific settings?
Can you see any problems in building this library without doing a full Boost install?
Thanks!
Joseph
