Using Portions of Boost (Components) #856

Closed CodePagesNet closed 7 months ago

CodePagesNet commented 7 months ago

Hi, I'm new to boost and I see that it's large (although I'm sure that it's excellent). Questions:

  1. Can a portion/component of boost be used? For example, could only the CRC library be downloaded and used?
  2. Can such a component also be built as binary separately? I currently use Visual Studio. (bcp tool?)
  3. Are prebuilt binaries available and can only the binaries of "component of interest" be downloaded?

Thank You

But to answer your questions: (1) yes, (2) yes, (3) yes, and no. I'm pretty sure no one uses "all of boost"
