Hi,

I have installed boost 1.33-1 in SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) 11 manually by bjam 3.12, and in SLES10 sp2 via YAST2 (with the defalut bjam 3.1.4). I found that the installed libraries in SLES 11 are always with the postfix '-gcc', which is not appeared in the libraries in SLES 10 sp2 (For example, "libboost_filesystem-gcc.o" in SLES 11, but "libboost_filesystem.o" in SLES10 sp2). The '-gcc' also exists in the library name in SLES 9.3.

Is it configurable to be with or without '-gcc', and in which file? Is it related to the SLES version, or bjam version?

Hello Weining, I use boost 1.43.0 in Gentoo.Bjam version is: Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12) Boost.Jam 03.1.18

From bjam --help: --layout=<layout> Determines whether to choose library names and header locations such that multiple versions of Boost or multiple compilers can be used on the same system.

versioned - Names of boost binaries include the Boost version number, name and version of the compiler and encoded build properties. Boost headers are installed in a subdirectory of <HDRDIR> whose name contains the Boost version number. tagged -- Names of boost binaries include the encoded build properties such as variant and threading, but do not including compiler name and version, or Boost version. This option is useful if you build several variants of Boost, using the same compiler. system - Binaries names do not include the Boost version number or the name and version number of the compiler. Boost headers are installed directly into <HDRDIR>. This option is intended for system integrators who are building distribution packages. The default value is 'versioned' on Windows, and 'system' on Unix. You can also set it in project-config.jam, for example add line: option.set layout : tagged ; I don't know if this was the same in the old version of bjam You are using. Regards, Kris.
