-- I couldn't find a way to "wildcard" extract and rename all Boost libraries. I ended up performing the extract / rename one-by-one. I suppose I could generate a list of the libraries and compose an invocation of bcp with all libraries explicitly listed (assuming command line buffers won't be exhausted), or write a script to do this, but it seems that it wouldn't be hard for bcp to do it inside the code.
Just use "." as the libraryname/path to copy and everything will get copied, or you could use "boost" which would copy all the headers, plus their source file dependencies, but not tests/docs/tools. In general you can use any path into a subset of boost as the thing to copy, you can also specify multiple libraries or paths to be copied on the one command line, and then the dependency tree only gets built and copied once # copy two libraries at once: bcp thread regex my_destination # copy everything at once: bcp . my_destination # copy headers and source only: bcp boost my_destination # copy all libraries, including tests and docs, but no tools: bcp libs my_destination Does this help? Cheers, John.
