R, however, uses dynamic loading of _its extension modules_ outside of the system use and has its own system of dependency management and versioning. | I can't say for certain (I'm not an rkward user), but looking at the build Why did _you_ then bring up rkward as an example? That was yo...

So in that sense the question is misdirected; few things are as 'portable' as Boost. The issue is more about how to ensure _binary libraries_ are found if needed for linking. Boost itself is a (vast) collection of libraries (in the abstract sense of 'packages'), and only a few employ (binary) libraries. Many can be used in a pure template sense so that only headers are needed at compile time. That is what Jay refers to above:...
