About:
Boost-bcp is a command-line utility that allows developers to extract specific Boost libraries and their dependencies into a standalone directory. It simplifies the process of using a subset of Boost without needing the entire collection. This tool is essential for managing dependencies and reducing bloat in projects that only require specific components.
Key Features:
  • Extracts specific Boost libraries and their dependencies
  • Preserves directory structure and copyright information
  • Command-line interface for easy automation and scripting
  • Helps reduce project size by including only necessary components
Use Cases:
  • Creating a lightweight distribution of Boost for a specific project
  • Isolating Boost dependencies for easier version control and deployment
  • Preparing Boost libraries for inclusion in a proprietary software build
Alternatives:
  • Manual Copying – Manual copying is error-prone and often misses dependencies, whereas boost-bcp automatically resolves and copies all required files.
