<p>Boost library users are never required to #include &lt;boost/config.hpp&gt;,
and are discouraged from including it on their own. </p>
<p>Boost library users can request support for additional
platforms to be added to config.hpp by emailing <a

their request. </p>
<h4><a name="default_config"></a>Using the default boost
configuration</h4>
<p>Boost is designed so that it is already correctly configured
for most common compilers; you should be able to use boost &quot;as
is&quot; without any configuration work. Since the compiler is
configured separately from the standard library used, that should
hold true even if you have replaced your compiler's standard
library with one from a third party (like STLport). </p>

should work even if you replace the compiler's standard
library with a third-party standard library (like <a href="http://www.stlport.org"> STLport</a>). </p>

<p>Using boost &quot;as is&quot; without trying to reconfigure is the recommended method
for using boost. You can, however, run the configure script if you want to, and there are regression tests
provided that allow you to test the current boost configuration
with your particular compiler setup.</p>
<p>Boost library users can request support for additional compilers or platforms
by visiting our <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586">
Tracker</a> and submitting a support request. </p>
<h4>The <a href="../../boost/config.hpp">&lt;boost/config.hpp&gt;</a> <a name="header">header</a></h4>
<p>Boost library implementations access configuration macros via <code> #include &lt;boost/config.hpp&gt;</code>. </p>
<p>Boost library users are never required to <code> #include &lt;boost/config.hpp&gt;</code>,
and are discouraged from doing so on their own. It is an implementation detail
which is subject to change, and thus should not be depended upon by users. </p>
<h4><a name="config_script">Using the configure script</a></h4>
<p>If you know that boost is incorrectly configured for your
particular setup, and you are on a unix like platform, then you
particular setup, and you are on a UNIX like platform, then you
may want to try and improve things by running the boost configure
script. From a shell command prompt you will need to cd into
&lt;boost-root&gt;/libs/config/ and type:</p>
