I'm updating a small C program to take in a options from either environment variables, or a config file and having long heard of boost as a great resource decided to give the program_options module a try. Since the utility is small and I don't have any current plans for other boost functionality it doesn't make sense to include the full BOOST library, so I tried to use bcp to get only the files I'm interested in. I was able to get a subset of boost code that I should be able to use with bcp, however I don't know how to compile the program_options library for linking in my code.
I have a similar problem. I want to pack boost together with an application, but want to save space. I've used bcp to get only the necessary headers, but I'm having trouble generating the libraries. First, I issued the following bcp command to copy the required libraries to /boost_minimal/boost find /path/to/my/app | xargs {} bcp --scan {} /boost_minimal As Voorhees said, no building script is copied. In my case, I manually copied all files at the root of the original directory and the tools directory. Then I ran ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/some/dir ./bjam ./bjam install It generated headers in /some/dir/include, but no libraries in /some/dir/lib, which would happen if I did this on the original boost dir. I guess I'm missing some step when copying the build files to boost_minimal. I also don't know how to do that with rypplite tool (because I don't know beforehand which libraries to get). Can anyone help me? Thanks!
From a bit of googling it looks like bjam is the build tool, but it doesn't seem to be included with the subset of files I have.
How would I go about incorporating boost so that all of the necessary source and associated utilities are included for an end user to build from. I should be able to issue a series of simple commands (looks like ./bootstrap.sh and make) to build and install my library with statically linked in boost.
