See: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#header-only-libraries http://www.boost.org/doc/libs?view=filtered_header-only > Can you point out to me where you see any Boost DLLs?

The boost filesystem library is an example; my installation has, in /lib/ : $ls libboost_file* libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-s.a libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt.a which IIRC were all gotten via 'setup.exe'. I gather from a glance at the boost links above that these might be buildable as dlls instead of as static libraries, but I think what's relevant to your question is that this library has '.cpp' files that must be compiled separately. I believe Václav was referring to boost's sui generis build system, which I always found a bit odd; if you want to avoid it, this might be worth a look: http://boost-extras.sourceforge.net/gnu-boost/gnu-boost.html | Tired of trying to compile boost with some weird tool only a very | few understand?
