Packagin asio dependency #3

Open arq5x opened 10 years ago

arq5x commented 10 years ago

Is it possible to package the ASIO dependency with the project or must one pre-install both boost::asio and asio in order to use bbi?

deltadev commented 10 years ago

There is a standalone asio, (does not require boost), here:

https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio

it is header only, so easy to include.

Only a small amount of network code needs to be written to replace the asio dependency on the other hand. I think this is the best thing to do going forwards.

Agreed, minimizing the dependencies would go a long way to the use of this (very nice) library in other tools. I for one, would like to leverage it in bedtools.
