If not is there any other way to specify that you don't want the boost version appended to the end of the filename?
Use the "--layout=system" option when building/installing.
Thanks Rene, that worked a treat. I couldn't find much documentation about this feature, is there any plans to expose it? It seems like a common thing to want to do. Can I help? Also, I found some weirdness when building libraries. Specifically, the Test library built libs for the dynamic versions altough the dll's themselves were not built. I understand that the test library doesn't have a dynamically linked version (according to the faq: http://tinyurl.com/77cjd) so why are the (dynamic) .libs being generated? I also found that a couple of the libraries were producing seemingly duplicate libs. By that I mean that two versions of a lib were being created, one _with_ the boost version number appended and one without - the filesizes were the same and, according to the naming convenion (http://tinyurl.com/aycpa), I believe the ones without the version number should not exist. I was using the 'stage' option with the vc-7_1 toolkit and noticed this on at least the serialization and wave libraries. Are these two issues known? I may have been using an old version of bjam though if that helps... Cheers, Matt
