[Boost-users] build boost library

Want to use Boost in our projects. We are using Fedora linux. I know Fedora has included Boost in its distribution but I plan to have my project only use the Boost lib included in my project resource tree but not the one included in the OS. That is I plan to have my project totally self-contained without any dependence on OS in terms of Boost lib. What's the right way to do that? Any input will be appreciated. thanks, James
