Description

I'm think we're missing a mention of "header only vs. compiled libraries" in the discussion part (maybe in the introduction or the getting started, without having to scan through all of `user-guide/header-organization-compilation.html`.

We're also missing how to use `--with-`, which can alleviate compile times if you're not using all libraries.

Contributor guide

No contributing guide indexed for this repository

Research direction

Start with user-guide/header-organization-compilation.html and inspect the discussion, introduction, or getting-started documentation mentioned in the issue. Add an accessible explanation of header-only versus compiled libraries and document how --with- can reduce compile times when unused libraries are excluded. Done means both topics are covered without requiring readers to scan the detailed user guide.
