The <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> is comparatively complicated component and is implemented in close to hundred header and source files,
so for long term usage the preferable solution is to build the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> as a reusable standalone library.
Depending on your platform this may save you a significant time during test module compilation and doesn't
really require that much effort <sup>[<a name="id532010" href="#ftn.id532010" class="footnote">1</a>]</sup>.
<a href="http://boost.org/more/getting_started/index.html" target="_top">Boost Getting started</a> tells you how to get
pre-built libraries for some platforms. If available, this is the easiest option and you can ignore standalone
library compilation instructions below.

In comparison with many other boost libraries, which are completely implemented in header files, compilation and
linking with the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> may require additional steps. The <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> presents you with options to either
<a class="link" href="compilation/standalone.html" title="Standalone library compilation">built and link with a standalone library</a> or
<a class="link" href="compilation/direct-include.html" title="Including the UTF directly into your test module">include the implementation directly</a> into a test module.
If you opt to use the library the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> headers implement the <a class="link" href="compilation/auto-linking.html" title="Support of the auto-linking feature">
auto-linking support</a>. The compilation of the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> library and a test module can be configured using the
following compilation flags.
