Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2734: Cygwin wants .dll, not .so for shared libraries https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734 <p> 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. </p> <p> 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? </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Sat, 07 Feb 2009 23:01:38 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">lib.jam.patch</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Steven Watanabe Sat, 07 Feb 2009 23:03:16 GMT component changed; owner set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">Vladimir Prus</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Building Boost</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">build</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Steven Watanabe Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:51:30 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2734#comment:2 <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/51241" title="Use .dll extension for shared libraries on cygwin.
