Re: [Inkscape-devel] Boost.Intrusive

The compilation took a really long time even compared to building inkscape itself and the installed libs have an overall size of 95 MB. Are _all_ of these libraries required to build inkscape?

No, in fact we currently use only Boost libraries that are header-only, so you don't need to compile Boost before compiling Inkscape (though your installation system might disagree). To be precise, we use boost::optional, boost::shared_ptr, boost/concept_check.hpp (used in 2geom) and a few other tidbits; I will probably use boost::ptr_list in the new node tool. On Debian, there are separate packages for the libraries that have runtime dependencies.
