You can achieve it simply by using it. Configuration is transparent and automatic. Boost appears to configure itself along three orthogonal lines: * by compiler * by std:: library * by platform Although I only use a few pieces of it on the Win32 platform. If you download the distribution and look in: boost_1_30_0/boost/config.hpp You will see the configuration occurring. Digging further down you will see in: boost_1_30_0/boost/config/select_platform_config.hpp that Boost appears to support these platforms: * AIX * Amiga * Apple * BEOS * CYGWIN * FreeBSD * HPUX * Linux * Macintosh * NetBSD * OpenBSD * SGI * Sun * Win32 * generic POSIX * generic UNIX However, Boost is made up individuals that all have "day-jobs". It might be that not every facet works on every platform. It is hard to imagine testing all the permutations. -- David Ferguson _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
