This is a subset of Boost v1.71.0 generated using the bcp tool. To get a list of boost modules guaranteed to exist, check the build script.

To update the Boost version (or to add a new library) follow these steps:

• Download Boost and extract the package, then launch Powershell and cd to the boost_1_xx_0 directory.

• Build the bcp tool:

  .\boostrap.bat
  .\b2 tools\bcp
  

• Store the boost directory in a variable for later use: $boost_dir = $pwd.

• Add bcp to your path: $env:Path += $boost_dir\bin.v2\tools\bcp\msvc-14.1\release\link-static\threading-multi (The correct output path should be printed by b2 during the build.)

• cd to this repo's directory (...\externals\boost\)

• Remove the existing boost from the repo: rm -r boost (This is only necessary if doing a Boost version upgrade, in case they removed any files in the new version.)

• Run .\build.cmd $boost_dir to build a new trimmed down distro.

• Remove libs\ and Jamroot if you didn't introduce any new boost dependencies that aren't header only

• Add/remove all files in git and commit.
