Of course it's ok! But I don't really see a reason why you'd want to do that for the headers, they're not that big (46 MB here). If you compile Boost yourself, you can choose which libraries it compiles and what versions of them (linking, runtime linking, threading, debugging). If you know what you won't need, just remove the rest of the libraries. I'd suggest you to leave the headers alone, it will save you very probably some trouble later on. niko H H wrote:

Hi,

I'm new to boost.

Can I remove some files from the boost directory and keep only what I need? Will that work and it's license for?

Thanks.
