how I use only the Asio of Boost Library without adding any other library? Is that possible?
In the Boost, don't have the folder called "lib" with the *.a files?

By default, Boost. Asio is a header-only library. However, some developers may prefer to build Boost. Asio using separately compiled source code.

Boost. Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous model using a modern C++ approach.
For me, main advantage of Boost. Asio (besides cross-platform work) is, that on each platform, it uses most effective strategy ( epoll on Linux 2.6, kqueue on FreeBSD/MacOSX, Overlapped IO on MS Windows).
Asio exists as as standalone library, entirely independent of Boost (this is the "original").
No need to search together the bits from Boost subdirectories if you don't want to use Boost, just download Asio and use that. :-)

Since Asio is a header-only library, there are no lib files associated with it. You can extract only the absolutly needed header files with bcp, which is included.
