#3359 closed Bugs (fixed)

exec-prefix seems to be ignored

Reported by: boost.org09@… Owned by:
Milestone: Boost 1.40.0 Component: Building Boost
Version: Boost 1.39.0 Severity: Problem
Keywords: exec-prefix installation Cc: boost.org09@…

Description

I have just compiled boost from sources and while everything went fine, specifying distinct prefix and exec-prefix options did not work. Specifically, while the build phase completed without errors and the installation of the header files was no problem, during installation of the libraries, links to /lib/ were attempted, rather than honouring the exec-prefix.

Is this by design (linking to /lib/) or a bug?

Best regards, Dr Kreil.

Lacking further details, I believe this is an known problem with 1.39, which was subsequently fixed.
