You don't have to know. You provide library::static and library::shared targets, they link to whatever they prefer. That's problematic​. There are platforms which don't allow for shared libraries. Is the implication that I always have two sets of binaries lying around? Sometimes, objects need to be built differently, so I'll get to build everything twice by default? That does not sound like a great advantage and I miss the argument where BUILD_SHARED_LIBS actually fails to deliver. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman /listinfo.cgi/boost
