#4079 closed Bugs (fixed)

mingw-built libraries should be linkable with -lboost_foo

Description

When building boost with mingw the (static) library files are named libboost_foo-[...].lib. This disallows easy linking against the libraries using the -lboost_foo-[...] command line flag for the linker.

I suggest to rename the mingw-built library files to boost_foo-[...].lib or libboost_foo-[...].a to make this work.
