This is interesting to me--I wanted to look into shipping certain boost libraries separately in Fedora. Currently we have a huge boost-devel that ships the whole boost/ subtree. That made sense back in 1.33 timeframe, but it makes less and less sense with every new release. Unfortunately the Boost dependency graph is as huge a hairball as I was afraid :-/

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Yes, dependency graph for boost is quite large... I think with boost in git and modules available, this is going to improve.

[Actually, more useful to me would be something scriptable. All that GUI stuff, frankly, is juts a distraction to me--though it does produce nice graphs :) (BTW, did you use graphviz, or is that custom-coded?).]

Well, not yet. I think about using boost graph graphviz export, thats one of the planned features. The layout is currently based on boost graph layouts algorithms. There is a /data directory after you've run the first analysis, with a SQLITE database, might be helpful for you.

Do you plan to make this tool open source?

Maybe yes ;) A feature release on github as GPL is planned. Not sure when. busy times. kind regards, Jens Weller
