[Boost-users] Mixing versions of boost

Hi all,

I'm using header-only boost libs in two static libraries that will be linked
into an executable.

No boost components are used in the interfaces of those libs, boost is only
used in the implementation inside the libraries.

Is it possible to mix versions of boost in those two static libraries? Will
the linker complain, or will it just get confused and mess up the
executable?

The problem here is that one of those libraries is 'external', that is, I'm
getting it compiled and with no source code (only .h for interface)

TIA

PS: I admit this is more a C++ linker question, but maybe someone out there
has had to coexist with different versions of boost
