One way to make building libs as painless as not having to build them is to use Boost Build itself to build your programs. It makes the presence of cpps/libs an implementation detail. In my own code repository, I have many libs and many cpp files and many header-only libs and I don't keep track which is which -- Boost Build figures it out for me. That's simply not going to happen for most Boost users, so it's a non-starter.
What is not going to happen for most Boost users? To use a good build system?
I'm sure that is not what Robert was implying - in fact quite the opposite. The user may already be using a good build system, just not Boost Build. --> Mika Heiskanen
