Finding Boost C++ version

How to find which gcc version the installed boost library is using ? So I can find which version of C++, my HPX library is using. HPX library depend on boost library hugely. I actually forgot how I (using which version of gcc) built boost library a year ago.
Thanks

If it's layout verioned when you built boost, the lib name must like: libboost_wave-gcc48-mt-s-1_65.a, so gcc48 (gcc 4.8.x) is your version.

More accurate : Run following command:

strings libboost_wave-gcc48-mt-s-1_65.a | egrep -ie "GCC.*([0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])"

You'll get the exact gcc version 4.8.5 from the output:

GCC: (GNU) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)
