What do I need to do so that I do not have to include all the boost libraries in the compile line?
Actually, autoconf/automake can do much of that for you in many cases. This is a good place to get a handle on the tools. http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_toc.html Then you can check out the boost macros. http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/macros-by-category.html#BOOST Set them up in your configure.ac, and do something in your Makefile.am like this(in this case I needed boost_program_options and boost_date_time): progname_CPPFLAGS = @BOOST_CPPFLAGS@ progname_LDFLAGS = @BOOST_LDFLAGS@ progname_LDADD = @PTHREAD_CFLAGS@ @BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB@ @BOOST_DATE_TIME_LIB@ You'll then use configure to generate much of what you're looking for on most modern systems. There's a bit of a learning curve to it, but using autoconf has saved me a LOT of time over the past few years. Pete
