Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2899: Make windows variants compatible with autolink https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2899 <p> On Windows, Boost.Build builds release shared variant by default. It appears that VC defaults to debug build, so autolink tries to pick mt-gd- binary, which is not found. </p> <p> What is the best solution here? I am open to any solutions that seems suitable for Windows, and cannot express any position. </p> <p> John, do you have a comment? </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2899 Trac 1.4.3 John Maddock Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:00:49 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2899#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2899#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> Hi Vladimir, </p> <p> There is no single default that suites everyone here, by default the auto-link headers will be looking for: </p> <p> link=static runtime-link=dynamic threading=multi debug or release. </p> <p> So that's two variants, but.... if the user makes any change to their compiler settings (the "code generation options" in the IDE) or wants to link dynamically (with BOOST_*_DYN_LINK) then they'll need different libraries. So I'm strongly of the view that only build-type=complete really delivers what VC++ users need :-( </p> <p> Oh and then we probably need to support "no-checked-iterators" as a variant as well! </p> <p> Regards, John. </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Vladimir Prus</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:02:11 GMT</pubDate> <title/> <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2899#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2899#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> Thanks.
