Is there a way I can make port Boost in my code so that when people want to build/compile my code they don't need to have Boost install in there computer?
The easiest way of removing the burden of people having to install Boost is to distribute the parts of Boost you use together with your sources. Take a look at the Boost tool 'bcp' to copy the parts of boost you need into your source tree, it's relatively simple. In the best case, all you will need to copy are headers. Otherwise, you may need to add some extra sources to your project. cheers, Remko
