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.
Yes, with considerable extra pain. Boost.Build can do the same with considerably less pain... But that's not what the OP asked about ;-)
It's only extra pain to learn it, but in the end, it's quite useful. It also helps in a load of other apps that use autoconf. I'm sure boost.build is great, but autoconf is so prevalent, I started with that. I'm just trying to be helpful. Those kinds of problems he's having used to be a part of my life until I started using autoconf. Those issues went away 99%, and it helps a great deal in the opensource experience to know it. autoconf/automake/etc... are incredibly powerful and ubiquitous. There are a lot of good ways to deal with that, but "waiting" for someone else to fix it, doesn't really solve the problem in helpful many. So, instead of passing the buck, I was trying to let him know what has helped me. That's my 2 cents, Pete
