Boost.Asio is header only unless you don't want it to be. But you have 
to compile it as a part of your code. There's no precompiled asio 
library. This is from the Boost.Asio documentation:

By default, Boost.Asio is a header-only library. However, some 
developers may prefer to build Boost.Asio using separately compiled 
source code. To do this, add|#include<boost/asio/impl/src.hpp>|to one 
(and only one) source file in a program, then build the program 
with|BOOST_ASIO_SEPARATE_COMPILATION|defined in the project/compiler 
settings. Alternatively,|BOOST_ASIO_DYN_LINK|may be defined to build a 
separately-compiled Boost.Asio as part of a shared library.

If using Boost.Asio's SSL support, you will also need to 
add|#include<boost/asio/ssl/impl/src.hpp>|.

Cheers,
Leon
