This should just be a matter of providing the corresponding binary
dependencies along with the executable file when you make a release.

To decrease the binary dependencies you can link Boost statically rather
than dynamically.

(If you're talking about issues with compiling your code, then you
shouldn't be expecting non-developers to compile your code in the first
place. That's what release zips/packages are for.)
