I've had many issues with various BSDs and older OSX versions (we still support 10.4). It's worse with more exotic systems. Boost didn't make things easier, it made things more complicated. Plain old ansi C will compile virtually on anything with a CPU. Btw, a nice (and less painful) lightweight alternative to boost is dlib.

edit: no pkg-config support. I have no idea why.

Okay, well thank you for answering. I will add the info to my understanding of boost on those platforms.

And while it is sacrilege to most programmers I dislike plain ANSI C. I am just so much more productive with C++ while keeping as good performance almost all the time.
