| 3 | [h2 Getting xpressive] |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | There are two ways to get xpressive. The first is by downloading xpressive.zip at the |
|---|
| 6 | [@http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?directory=Strings%20-%20Text%20Processing |
|---|
| 7 | Boost File Vault] in the "Strings - Text Processing" directory. In addition to |
|---|
| 8 | the source code and the Boost license, this archive contains a copy of this documentation in |
|---|
| 9 | PDF format. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | The second way is through anonymous CVS via the boost project on SourceForge.net. Just |
|---|
| 12 | go to [@http://sf.net/projects/boost] and follow the instructions there for |
|---|
| 13 | anonymous CVS access. |

| 15 | [h2 Building with xpressive] |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | xpressive is a header-only template library, which means you don't need to alter your build scripts |
|---|
| 18 | or link to any separate lib file to use it. All you need to do is `#include <boost/xpressive/xpressive.hpp>`. |
|---|
| 19 | If you are only using static regexes, you can improve compile times by only including `xpressive_static.hpp`. |
|---|
| 20 | Likewise, you can include `xpressive_dynamic.hpp` if you only plan on using dynamic regexes. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
