This is inconsistent with the existing meaning of BOOST_XXX_NO_LIB, which is used to disable auto-linking.
Oh, okay. Thanks for pointing that out Steven. So what is the recommended macro for disabling the requirement for external linking?
I don't think there's a convention. The only library which is optionally header only is Boost.Test, and it has a separate set of headers.
Okay, that sounds like a sane option as well. I'll see if I can introduce a different set of headers for the external-linking case and make the 0.8-style header includes default to header-only mode. That should reduce the breakage for people upgrading from 0.8 to 0.9. Thanks again for pointing that out Steven, it's feedback most appreciated. -- Dean Michael Berris http://about.me/deanberris
