Re: [Boost-users] Building Boost 1.40

I built Boost 1.40 on Linux and installed it Ok. However are the libraries singlethreaded or multithreaded? eg. the library names are like this: libboost_python.so libboost_python.so.1.40.0

The older versions had -mt- in their name. eg. libboost_python-gcc43-mt.so etc.

Hi! You can use --layout parameter to change libraries naming convention. Use the following command to see possible options: $ bjam --help | grep -A25 layout

Thanks Andrew
