Dan,
On a side note, has anyone been working on placing built items into a common directory, say
/lib? If not, I have a patch that should help alot.
Sounds like an excellent idea. I'm assuming that on Windows, the boost build would then follow common conventions so that libraries built with different characteristics (debug vs. non-debug, multi- vs. single- threaded, etc) had different names. (I haven't been following boost build developments lately -- is this a topic of ongoing changes?)
A solution is currently checked in on a branch. But it is languishing for lack of testing. See the jamboost@yahoogroups.com thread "Standardization of build". I'm sure it would be appreciated if someone could give it a try and report problems to Rene. --Beman
