4079	mingw-built libraries should be linkable with -lboost_foo	armin@…		"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."	Bugs	closed		Building Boost	Boost 1.42.0	Cosmetic	fixed
