What I really want, is a header only version of boost for download. I am allergic to linking, and I simply don't use any part of boost that can't be simply included.
In that case your problem is solved. Just untar boost. Done.
Unfortunately some libraries are not header only and there is easy way to tell which libraries require separate compilation / linking steps and which don't. I would very much like a separate release which only contained header only libraries.
Don't you think assembling a separate release of boost just so you can tell which libraries need to be compiled is a bit of a heavyweight approach? Seems to me a little documentation should be sufficient. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
