The Boost.Application is a header only library, but it depends on the following
libraries, and they must be available in order to compile programs that use
Boost.Application:
-
Boost.System for the boost::system::error_code and boost::system::system_error
classes.
-
Boost.Thread for creating a service thread and synchronization. Windows
Service blocks the main thread so, then service thread function would need
to be called from a boost thread.
-
Boost.Function, Bind for creation of a callbak system and others.
-
Boost.Asio for SIGNALs.
-
Boost.TypeIndex or std::type_index used by application context.
-
Boost.Filesystem to directory manipulation.
-
Boost.Uuid to application single instantiation.
Furthermore, some of the examples also require the Boost.Program_options libraries
in both sides (Window/Unix).
