Hello,

I was curious to know wether there was somewhere available a graph of dependencies between boost libraries ?

No, but the bcp tool can almost do what you want - in report mode it will output a dependency analysis for a specific library or header, see http://www.boost.org/tools/bcp/bcp.html

I'll just point out that things are more complicated than the 'answers' provided by bcp. As an example, date_time depends on serialization, but only if you actually include specific date_time serialization headers. Since bcp just mechanically traces dependencies it can't *know* that if you don't want to user serialization that dependency and any that serialization pulls in goes away. Jeff
