Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #13003: boost build lacks /boost//log, /boost//log_setup

Tue, 02 May 2017 11:34:02 GMT

Looks like I should have used BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK instead of BOOST_LOG_SETUP_DYN_LINK, if I'm reading documentation correctly. It worked for me because I am statically linking, I assume.

tools/build/src/contrib/boost.jam is part of Boost.Build, so I'm reassigning the ticket. I'm not sure what that file contains.

BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK and BOOST_LOG_SETUP_DYN_LINK control how Boost.Log (the two built libraries it consists of) is linked. If the macro is defined, the corresponding library is linked as a shared object (.so or .dll), otherwise as a static library. If you're linking statically, you should not define either of these macros.

An interesting question comes to mind... how does a new boost library add its lib to this file?

BTW, I can see those boost_lib_std lines are already present in the file in lines 217-218 in 1.64, current master and develop. So maybe this ticket should be closed.

Hrm, perhaps I picked up a different branch or something. I've found other problems, so perhaps I need to pull again.
