Boost.Container's static_vector as well as STL containers are header-only.

There is no need to compile Boost.Container, since it's a header-only 
library, just include your Boost header directory in your compiler 
include path except if you use:
- Extended Allocators
- Some Polymorphic Memory Resources classes.

If you need some alternative, you can find similar container in 
Boost.Geometry: boost::geometry::index::detail::varray
see:
https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/blob/develop/include/boost/geometry/index/detail/varray.hpp#L153
but it depends on Boost.Container so you'd need this library anyway.
