I would like to use the odeint module from the boost::sandbox but I am not sure how to integrate the sandbox code which I retrieved from svn into my boost install. I have boost installed to $BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/boost_1_45_0. Is it proper to just merge contents of odeint into my boost path which would place the header at $BOOST_ROOT/boost/numeric/odeint.hpp.
Is this the right approach or is there a standard way of getting and installing boost::sandbox code?
I am not aware of any “proper” solution, but I can tell you that you should not meet any problems if you just copy
boost/numeric/odeint.hppandboost/numeric/odeint/*.hppto that directory since no file will be overwritten (if something fails just remove them and you’re done).For what its worth I did that for boost::process and it worked without any problems.
