If the Boost headers are all that is needed (in many cases they are, since most Boost libraries are header-only), it may be worth to ship them together with Sage. I just checked and the complete Boost headers amount to a compressed tarbz2ball of 2.9 MB, so packing them in Sage should not be a big deal. With the non-header-only Boost libraries (such as Boost.Python), a possible approach could be that of modifying the build system of a package that uses them to compile and link the needed Boost libraries together with the package's own library. I.e., add the Boost libraries' .cpp files directly in the project's Makefile. Another possibility (especially if the use of Boost is widespread among Sage packages) would be to compile shared library versions of the needed Boost libraries when building Sage and use them when building the packages that need them. Just a couple of thoughts :) Best regards, ~ Francesco. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiFltUACgkQFCtI0YdDCEs8DACdG93ZTG4wpyPxXMJMyl5bJqU7 zh0AnRfhIZ+wF+AOOpUVMp/6s8Qi2N6S =T7jJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
