How should I compile boost library in a small project?
- by Vincenzo
I have a small project where I need just part of boost library, boost::regex in particular. This is what I've done so far:
/include
/boost
/regex
/math
.. 189 dirs, files, etc.
/lib
/boost-regex
c_regex_traits.cpp
cpp_regex_traits.cpp
.. ~20 .cpp files
myprog.cpp
In my Makefile I compile all boost-regex .cpp files one by one, producing .obj files. Next, I'm building my project by means of compiling myprog.cpp together with all that .obj files from /lib/boost/regex.
The question is whether I'm doing everything correct? The size of my output file is rather big (~3.5Mb), while my code is extremely small (10 lines).
