making boost build generic library names (without -mgw45-mt-1_46_1)?
Hi, I wonder how can one make the boost build process create libraries with generic boost library names (like libboost_math_c99f.a) on Windows using mingw / gcc, as opposed to library names like libboost_math_c99f-mgw45-mt-1_46_1.a? Although I understand this makes sense in some contexts, a lot of times this is not convenient. For example, I'd have to update my dependencies every time I change the boost version, or the underlying gcc version changes. moreover, on other platforms (Linux, MacOS), the libraries built have the generic name (libboost_math_c99f.a) How to achieve the same effect on Windows?
