#2110 closed Bugs (fixed)

Libryr naming on windows always is *.lib

Reported by: Roland Schwarz Owned by: Dave Abrahams
Milestone: Boost 1.36.0 Component: Documentation

Description

In

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming

there is the sentence:

(except for static libraries built by the gcc toolset, whose names always end in .a)

This is wrong. The mingw toolset makes no exception. Only gcc on cygwin does, but it is unclear if cygwin shall be considered windows...

Recommendation: Simply purge the whole "(...)".
