I am trying to figure out which libraries to build on Windows. I really only need "polygon" and "geometry". But what libraries these dependent on that also need to be built? I've tried to query which will be built and I'm not getting the expected results, for example: $ ./b2 --show-libraries --build-type=complete The following libraries require building: - chrono <snip>****

- wave Hmmmm... where is polygon and geometry?

$ ./b2 --show-libraries --build-type=complete --with-geometry error: wrong library name 'geometry' in the --with-<library> option. Help please?****

Probably both polygon and geometry are header-only...? Check the docs of each respective library.****

Thanks I didn’t realize that possibility.****

As far as dependencies, how can I tell what other libraries (if any) I must include with polygon and geometry?****

Well if the documentation of each library is responsible, it'll tell you if it has any build dependencies. My guess is neither library has any build dependencies. There will of course be header/include dependencies (which probably amounts to most of boost). - Jeff
