Re: [Boost-users] Include boost in software distribution?

I would include the source files in libs/program_options/, and write a small Makefile for it. I would also include all the Boost headers.

Is this sufficient, even though it wouldn't run the Boost configure script to determine system-specific settings? Can you see any problems in building this library without doing a full Boost install?

That should work fine, we even have a tool (http://www.boost.org/tools/bcp/bcp.html) specifically for extracting subsets of Boost like this. John.
