[Boost-users] shipping software depending on boost

Hi,

I have written some code for a software package that my group at the university is distributing, and it has dependencies on boost. Now my boss is getting very worried about the extra complications this brings for a user to install the software (note that the dependencies are not only header files). The package is currently installed using an autoconf script.

I wonder how others deal with this situation. Is it best to ship the complete boost library as part of the installation, and handle the compilation of the used boost libraries by autoconf?

Thanks,

Wieger
