Hi all, I have come to the following conclusions about using boost. Do please let me know if I am wrong. 1) Download the boost src from web. 2) Build/Install the various libs using "bjam" (For intel, one can download the lib itself) 3) To use the boost lib in one's code, 3 ways are a) Just include the hdr files (e.g.: bind.hpp) The entire template impln is in hdr file b) Include the hdr files and boost will link the reqd libs automatically (e.g.: thread lib) c) Include the hdr file and specify the ".lib" file yourself. Also, whether a particular feature require 3a, 3b or 3c has to be figured out by yourself. Thanks, Diwakar
