This post is mainly about the linux distribution of boost, oriented to gcc. Given the lack of pgk-config for linux and the lack of linking pragmas in g++ I am wondering if somebody investigated the possibility of having all boost binary libraries in one file or something like that. Such that compilation line c++ -lboost_regex -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_mpi - lboost_serialization ... can be simplified into c++ -lboost_all or simply c++ -lboost where boost_all.so have the contents of all boost libraries or references to the other boost_*.so the idea is to simplify sharing short code with other people not familiar with boost itself. Thanks, Alfredo
