https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/531 <pre class="wiki">I'm building boost using MinGW. I would like to know is there way to only build static-link release version of each library. I don't need debug and MinGW can't build multy-threaded libraries (or can only build them) AFAIK. Also can I disable extra tags for names (I need only one version of boost_date_time, so there is no need for extra tags since I only use that one)? e-mail: spoofer255 at gmail dot com </pre> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/531 Trac 1.4.3 René Rivera Sun, 29 Apr 2007 18:08:32 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/531#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/531#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">assigned</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> </ul> <pre class="wiki">Logged In: YES user_id=33595 Originator: NO The easiest way is to just build the sources of what you need directly, with whatever you use for building your own code. The Boost.Build way is to specify the -sBUILD option. From what I can discern the closest is "-sBUILD=release &lt;runtime-link&gt;dynamic &lt;threading&gt;multi". Unfortunately BBv1 doesn't support just building the static libraries. That option is available in BBv2, which is what the 1.34 release will use. </pre> Ticket
