Ok, got it. Hmm, with how long Boost takes to build, I am not sure the best
thing to do. I don't want users to have to build Boost at all, just get the
include files they need.
Would it be appropriate to do something like:
if boost is installed
-I/opt/local/include
else
download boost
-Ifiles/whatever-boost-downloads-as/
end if
Is that possible to do? If it is possible, I will start looking at the docs
for how, unless someone knows a port that does something similar that I can
learn from. Thanks.
