Cygwin wants .dll, not .so for shared libraries

Reported by: don2387ward@… Owned by: Vladimir Prus
Milestone: Boost 1.38.0 Component: build
Version: Boost 1.37.0 Severity: Problem
Keywords: cygwin Cc: don2387ward@…

Description

Building boost 1.37.0 on Cygwin I get shared libraries named xxx.so, but gcc expects files named xxx.dll (as in 1.36.0 and documented in gcc.jam). It appears this is due to changes to tools/build/v2/tools/types/lib.jam since 1.36.0.

Also (a separate issue): It would be nice if the xxx.dll files could be put in /usr/local/bin (rather than /usr/local/lib). Is there a way to do this?
