How does one invoke bjam on the version of boost in SVN-Trunk so that mingw-g++ libraries use '.a' as a suffix instead of '.lib' ? When I use the mingw g++ compiler on Windows I expect it to produce libraries ending with '.a' since that is what the compiler typically looks for when linking with something like: -lboost_filesystem-mt-d Granted I could just put the whole library name -llibboost_filesystem_mt-d.lib but is there a way to make bjam produce .a as a suffix instead? Shouldn't this be the default behavior if I am using a gcc based toolset? -- John
