#1902 closed Patches (fixed)

consistently use symbolic links for versioned libraries under linux

Description

Here is a patch which makes boost create symbolic links to the built libraries instead of some symbolic and some hard links. It adds some fallback code for NT, which does a copy when a symlink is requested (based on the common.hard-link action for NT).
