Hi Vikash,

please use BCP tool to extract the needed libs: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/tools/bcp/doc/html/index.html

Hi,

Could anyone please help me out. I need boost header only libraries for boost shared pointer and boost foreach. But i am not able to find the header libraries available for download any where on the boost website. I remember seeing the header only libraries some time back. But right now dont see the header only libraries for any of the boost versions released till date.

Hello (and do not top-post).

If you just need the headers, just copy/use the boost/ directory of the releases.

BCP is a nice tool in theory, but doesn't do the extraction correctly for some of the libraries.

It _might_ work for you, but be aware that it tends to fail horribly on anything that uses the preprocessor. It has failed miserably on MPL for some.

Sorry for top-posting... Forgot it.. But anyway, copying the directory might fail as well, just because this particular header lib might depend on other libs. In that case you will need to strip the dependencies manually. With Kind Regards, Ovanes
