For most Boost libraries with separate source building from within your IDE
is as simple as adding the source files to a suitable project (static lib is
easiest) and building. For the threads lib there's a define that has to be
set when building the source I think: ah yes, it's BOOST_THREAD_BUILD_LIB=1
that's required.
Other than that, if a lib has separate source then it's under libs/foo/src,
and if that path doesn't exist then lib foo is "header only" and has nothing
to build.
HTH, John.
