I guess I could volunteer. Integrate boost, zlib, jpeg, tiff, and png into the
source then?

BTW, to OP, I have statically compiled 64-bit x86-64 executables for Linux if
you're interested. Just tell me what CPU you have.

Too often in the past I had experienced Google swamping me with useless
links leading only to useless info junk instead of showing me viable
ways to proceed... all that "Buy XXXXX now!" stuff, when searching for
whatever! Google sucks!
See you in Khyberspace!

I generally don't have that problem, but I have ad blockers installed, so
I don't see the adwords ads.
But I also have generally good luck in finding what I'm looking for using
Google. But if you don't want to use Google, that's fine, just insert a
different search engine. :)

Hi(gh)!

I'm generally skeptical of human knowledge organized by computers - they
are much too easily manipulated by clever web programmers, as no
present-day search engine really is able to detect the relevance of a
HTML text and thus to discern between phony catchword dumps (also mostly
automatically generated these days!) and information that really matters!
But who wants to pay human web librarians and archivists? Internet is
cheap, fast - and mostly worthless!
See you in Khyberspace!

Plus openEXR. Yes, that would be the job. Boost would be limited to
boost_thread and boost_date_time; aside from those, we currently only
use boost header-only libraries.
zlib, jpeg, tiff and png libraries are already in the source tree (we
just don't currently distribute them in the Linux version); boost and
openEXR will be added to the code repository soon.

So just put relevant source and respective directories into main source tree,
modify some scripts then? Sounds within my skill level.

I guess we'd love to go for a makefile-based solution, rather than the
BJam build tool the boost library comes with.
It would probably also be nice to have an option to link against already
installed versions of the libraries instead.
I guess to pick up that glove you should contact Chris Cason. I'm sure
your help will be appreciated.
