Re: [boost] New boost packaging suggestion for windows

Hello, I just noticed an error crept into my earlier posted link: The correct link for google is: http://boost-win-bin.googlecode.com/files/boost_1_40_0-vc9-preview.7z I would appreciate any comments on this distribution, so that I could pack it up with an installer and really "release" it. Again, this distribution pretty much contains all of boost - all configurations for a single version of Visual C++, without Python or MPI, but is very tightly pakced into around 30 MB ( a 30th of the current boostpro distribution size ) Yrs, Julian Bangert

Please put all your stuff into a folder -- I extracted it into my downloads directory, then had to pick it apart from the other stuff there. Obviously a proper installer would fix this. You don't seem to package zlib and bzip2 libraries for boost::iostreams compression. I've previously had great difficulties getting these to build on windows, so if you provided them, that would be nice.
