So, I have spent the last week looking googling and researching how to get a standalone copy of the regex part of the boost library to work in a project. This project will be compiled on other machines and I CANNOT have the user install it.

Is there any way to do this?

So far, I have built the regex part: I have both .so files and .a files built. The thing that I'm unsure of is that these were built with gcc and I am using/will be using g++.

I have also finally got the bcp tool to work, and extracted the regex part and all of its dependencies.

I can't get it to compile any way I try to work it. I need this to be in a folder "regex/" folder in my directory.

I have used too many commands to paste them all, but the last I tried was this:

g++ -g -pedantic -Wall -o doit test.C -Iregex/boost/ -Wl,-Lregex/libs/regex/build/gcc/ -static -lboost_regex-gcc-1_47

I have also tried many variations of the above command. Such as using -lboost_regex and lots of other things. Is my whole problem because I'm using an .so built by GCC?

The output of the above command was
