Hi, I want integrate some of the boost libraries in a project which has the GNU autoconf/automake tools as build system. I have to cope some questions like: Where is your boost library installed ? Is the version of your boost-lib recent enough ? Can I compile a small program using the boost libraries ? Unfortunately I'm not an experienced GNU auto[conf/make] user. But I note that a lot of software components come with a m4 macro to support the configuration process. I found a boost.m4 file at http://alien.cern.ch/cache/org.glite/project/boost.m4. I tried it to include to my project but it needs some revision. Can someone from the boost people give some advice ? I know that boost does use bjam. But GNU auto[conf/make] are very common(due to cygwin/mingw even under windows) so that I hope to find an answer. best regards, Thomas --
