The list of libraries that require building is here for Unix-like systems, and here for Windows.
For the current release, 1.58, both are the same:
- Boost.Chrono
- Boost.Context
- Boost.Filesystem
- Boost.GraphParallel
- Boost.IOStreams
- Boost.Locale
- Boost.MPI
- Boost.ProgramOptions
- Boost.Python
- Boost.Regex
- Boost.Serialization
- Boost.Signals
- Boost.System
- Boost.Thread
- Boost.Timer
- Boost.Wave
A few libraries have optional separately-compiled binaries:
- Boost.DateTime
- Boost.Graph
- Boost.Math
- Boost.Random
- Boost.Test
- Boost.Exception
Note that some libraries may depend on these (for example, Asio depends on System as pointed out in the comments), so you may still need to build something even if the library you want isn't on the list.
