I'm probably way behind the eightball asking something like this, but I'm wondering what role `dev-libs/boost' plays with encfs.
The home page indicates its something of a helper application for using cpp++ programming language and applications. The reason I ask is that it appears to be up there with kde when it comes to compiling that critter. I'm rebuilding my main desktop from scratch install and have been used to using encfs for some private data... I don't recall having to wrestle `boost' to the ground when I installed encfs (long ago). I may just have been too busy to see it burning up time. But what seems like hrs is just a bit lenghy for something that is billed as a sort of helper application. Well its really only been a little over an hour but I see no signs of the end coming near in the present output... I'ts not really a big complaint... I'm more curious than put out. Being a retiree and lazy to boot I have the time for it... hehe. Oh, and my hardware is not that uptodate ... its p4 celeron 3.0 cpu with 3GB ram.
