Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #1902: consistently use symbolic links for versioned libraries under linux https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1902 <p> 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). </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1902 Trac 1.4.3 Frank Mori Hess Wed, 07 May 2008 20:13:33 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1902 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1902 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">build_symbolic_links.patch</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Vladimir Prus Sat, 17 May 2008 06:14:12 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1902#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1902#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/45445" title="Consistently use symlinks when installing Boost. * Jamroot: use ...">[45445]</a>) Consistently use symlinks when installing Boost. </p> <ul><li>Jamroot: use symlink, not hardlink </li><li>tools/build/v2/tools/symlink.jam: Implement fallback for doing symlinks on Windows. </li></ul><p> Fixes <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1902" title="#1902: Patches: consistently use symbolic links for versioned libraries under linux (closed: fixed)">#1902</a>.
