Instead, some places in FlightGear itself (at least Nasal and JSBSim, as far as I remember) are the factors that limit portability. We have actually gone to some effort to make sure that JSBSim compiles everywhere. Even on my cell phone. ;-) Jon

As someone who uses Boost for some projects at work, there are two things to consider regarding this. One is that I believe all new libraries must be under the Boost license to be accepted (don't quote me on that) and those qualifiers were put in because before the creation of the Boost Software

* Jonathan Wagner -- 11/3/2008 3:34 PM: The second thing to consider is that can pull in individual libraries as dependencies (i.e, only the Random, Hash and GIL libraries) rather than requiring _all_ of boost. Sure. I think most people knew this. But I assume it's very unlikely that anyone

Fine with me. (I've only opposed once, but back then the only argument for pulling it in was to get printf-like fromatting in stream output, and that didn't seem enough justification for yet another dependency.) m. - This
