Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #12047: Drive letter in Windows is ignored for Build --libdir option https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12047 <p> If the b2 command line specifies --libdir=DriveLetter:/somepath the <a class="missing wiki">DriveLetter</a> is completely dropped when Boost build calculates the path and so Boost build considers the --libdir path as /somepath on the current drive. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12047 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:25:16 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12047#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12047#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> I can't reproduce this: </p> <pre class="wiki">boost-git$ b2 --libdir=D:\Boost\lib -n --with-system install ... common.copy D:\Boost\lib\libboost_system-vc140-mt-1_61.lib copy /b "bin.v2\libs\system\build\msvc-14.0\release\link-static\threading-multi\libboost_system-vc140-mt-1_61.lib" + this-file-does-not-exist-A698EE7806899E69 "D:\Boost\lib\libboost_system-vc140-mt-1_61.lib" </pre> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Edward Diener</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 09 Mar 2016 20:43:09 GMT</pubDate> <title/> <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12047#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12047#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> You are right and my report is erroneous.
