Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2746: Please allow specifying the library SONAME in Jamroot https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746 <p> In working on packaging the luabind library (which utilizes Boost.Jam) for Debian, I found the way that the library SONAME is passed to the linker is not "correct." It seems like since the SONAME is something that should ideally be managed by the library developer, it would be good if Boost.Jam allowed the library SONAME to be specified in the Jamroot file (for operating systems that have a notion of a SONAME). </p> <p> Here is the related thread from the luabind-user mailing list: </p> <p> <a class="ext-link" href="http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c20090131051842.GA15718%40connexer.com%3e"><span class="icon">​</span>http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c20090131051842.GA15718%40connexer.com%3e</a> </p> <p> Thanks to some help from volodya in IRC, we worked up the patch from the first message in the above thread. However, I think that some sort of configuration variable, that if set, allowed specifying the SONAME would be better. In the absence of the SONAME being specified in the Jamroot file, the current behavior could be kept as default. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Thu, 12 Feb 2009 02:39:49 GMT owner, component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">René Rivera</span> to <span class="trac-author">Vladimir Prus</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">bjam</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">build</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Vladimir Prus Sat, 21 Mar 2009 22:47:35 GMT version, milestone changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>version</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Boost.Jam 3.1.16</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.38.0</span> </li> <li><strong>milestone</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Boost.Jam 3.1.17</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.39.0</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Vladimir Prus Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:03:08 GMT status changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2746#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">assigned</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
