Hi boost users, I'm new in the boost (amazing and powerfull) universe and had no time yet to explore archives about this topic. I have just installed the current version of boost libs on my laptop (no problem with it) but I have not found a dedicated helper config script (i.e. boost-config [--cflags|--libs...]) like the ones coming with the well-known packages used in high-energy physics (GSL, ROOT, CLHEP). It will help a lot if such a script was provided by the build process, at least for Unix-like systems. It is very useful within makefiles or whatever "manual" build scripts. Maybe someone can tell why this feature is not in boost (probably there is a good reason I'm not aware of) or if there are plans to provide it. Thank you very much for your kind comment. best regards frc -- Pr.
