I am building an open source C++ application using various Boost libraries. I am using the libraries as-is without any tweaks, additions, or wrappers to the source or headers.
What is the accepted way (if there is one) of deploying a Boost application when the application includes the source under an open source license? Should I distribute only *my* source along with instructions to users who want to compile it to download the Boost libraries? Or, should I include a boost/ subdirectory in my source tree with the Boost headers and libraries my app uses?
Either, or both, or make the parts of Boost that you use (extracted with bcp?) a separate download (if you don't have a copy of Boost already, you'll need to download this etc...). John.
