How to find out what dependencies (i.e other Boost libraries) a particular Boost library requires?


For any C++ Boost library, how can one find out which Boost library(ies) it requires ?

Example (not necessary a working example though): Boost library "test" requires Boost library "date_time".

Regards,


Solution

  • boost comes with a tool to gather the dependencies of a library.

    It is called bcp. If you just want a list of files, you have to use the --list option.
