RE: [Boost-users] Re: why so many .so and .a files for boost?
That 's right. Try command: $ls -l libboost_regex-gcc-d.so -rwxr-xr-x 2 tomtan staff 5.5M Feb 21 10:54 libboost_regex-gcc-d.so Now see the second column. more than 1 (2 in this case) means this file has hard links. Anyway, why not a symbolic link ? -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 17:14 To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Re: why so many .so and .a files for boost?

I was wondering why I get duplicates on my Linux box as well. The files are with 1_32 and without extension and they are exactly the same.
On any Unix I would expect those to be hardlinks to each other. Are you sure this is not the case? Markus _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

It's a long story.. But at the end it's what was easiest to implement at the time :-) As for the Windows case, it does a copy instead of the ln. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org

On my Linux installation, those are all symlinks, nothing is hard linked. How come? -- Matthias Kaeppler

Most likely because the packager for your installation did extra work to get it that way. The default, when one does "bjam .. install", is to use hardlinks. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
