This contains a stripped down version of TR1::Boost version 1.36.0. It contains only the files required to use tr1::tuple in Visual Studio 2005. All other files have been removed. The original packing of Boost tuple used to create this version was taken from the googlemock project download page: http://googlemock.googlecode.com/files/boost_tr1_tuple_1_36_0.zip This code is released under the Boost Software License - Version 1.0. See boost_1_36_0/LICENSE_1_0.txt for details. Steps to reproduce stripped down package: 1) Download from http://googlemock.googlecode.com/files/boost_tr1_tuple_1_36_0.zip 2) Unzip the package. This will create the boost_1_36_0 directory. 3) Create a .cpp file with one line: #include 4) Run this file through the Visual C++ preprocessor, making sure that the same compiler options (/I, /D, etc) are the same as for the the rest project, and that #{BOOST_ROOT}/boost/tr1/tr1;${BOOST_ROOT} are added to the include path path. To get the preprocess output in Visual Studio, select the .cpp file, go to Properties | C/C++ | Preprocessor, and set "Generate Preprocessed File" to Yes. *5) In the preprocessed file, find all header files referenced in the boost_1_36_0 subdirectory. 6) For each file in the boost_1_36_0 directory, if it is not referenced in the list produced in step 5, delete it. The result should be 389 files, at about 2.4 megs. Adding in the LICENSE_1_0.txt file brings the distribution to an even 390 files. In comparison the full expansion of boost_tr1_tuple_1_36_0.zip is 1097 files using 9.2 megs. * For step 5, the following bash line helps generate a list of files: cat file.i | grep "^#line" | grep boost_1_36_0 | \ tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f3 | tr -d \" | sort -u
