https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4096 <p> I some assembler code is required by a library - boost.build has some limited support to detect platform features. For instance it is necessary to know for which architecture the lib should be build. The builtin properties &lt;architecture&gt; and &lt;instruction-set&gt; are optional properties (so a developer can not rely on it). Additinaly the binary format has to be known. Suggestion: new builtin property &lt;linkage&gt; with values like elf, windowspe, mach-o. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4096 Trac 1.4.3 anonymous Tue, 13 Apr 2010 19:44:01 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4096#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4096#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">duplicate</span> </li> </ul> <p> Duplicate of <a class="new ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4097" title="#4097: Feature Requests: limited support for detecting platform (new)">#4097</a>. </p> Ticket
