Only some parts of Boost are header-only, some others require packaging of binary libraries. --171.66.40.154 (talk) 02:19, 7 November 2008 (UTC) AlfC
Inclusion of external links in the list
[edit]Hello @Nomade040: I saw that you had reinstated items in the list that are external links. Unfortunately you didn't give a reason in your edit summary. I don't know if you're familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines on this? WP:ELLIST says "the lists themselves should not be composed of external links". Lists are intended for helping people navigate around Wikipedia, not to turn it into a directory of web links - see WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Please see WP:BRD for how to move forward from here.

- The list was filled with links to all kinds of stuff. Looked pretty arbitrary. Per WP:ELLIST, external links are not welcome, and the two internal links were not helpful. I removed the section. Chrisahn (talk) 22:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
I think the list of header-only libraries (at least the valid ones) should have been kept and turned into "acceptable" form rather than simply deleted. I.e. it looks like this page might have been more useful a few years ago. And you want citations... how about https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/docs/stb_howto.txt ? I'm thinking of starting another header-only library right now, and the wikipedia article comes up in a google search, but the article currently doesn't have much to say. I'm reluctant to bother adding such links, since it's some hassle, I'm doubtful that linking to github blobs is "acceptable", and with such ruthless editing I wonder if it's a waste of time to add anything to this page at all.

Merge into another article?
[edit]Per Wikipedia:Notability, I propose that this article be merged into another. 104.228.101.152 (talk) 04:54, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Wouldn't it make sense to merge it into the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_(computing) Andreas Fabri (talk) 15:51, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
