Description
Currently both C++ and WCF/C++ Interop build with linking Boost dynamically. This requires the Boost DLLs to be present at run time.
The C++ client build can change to link Boost statically in the cmake configuration step. This removes the need to have the Boost DLLs available at run time, with the possible increase in linked qpid dll size.
The WCF/C++ Interop project is not based on Cmake, so it has no such setting. I'd like to change the WCF/C++ Interop to link statically with Boost to remove the need to have Boost available at run time.
This change would make packaging easier, as it would remove the need to package Boost DLLs with Qpid or require a specific Boost version/options to be installed on the target system.
