Want to use Boost in our projects. We are using Fedora linux. I know Fedora has included Boost in its distribution but I plan to have my project only use the Boost lib included in my project resource tree but not the one included in the OS. That is I plan to have my project totally self-contained without any dependence on OS in terms of Boost lib.

What's the right way to do that? Any input will be appreciated.

It depends on which libraries you use. If you only need header-only libraries, add the root of the boost tree to your include directories and you're good to go. Otherwise see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html In Christ, Steven Watanabe
