#8638 closed Patches (obsolete)
Support of 64-bit address model in boost libraries names

Description
Attached patch modifies "boostcpp.jam" and "boost\config\auto_link.hpp" to add new suffix ("-32" or "-64") designating address model selected. If address model is not specified in command line to b2, address model suffix is not appended.
Allows to place built boost libraries in the same directory, which in turn simplifies user projects configuration (no need to specify two directories to the linker).

If address model is not specified in command line to b2, address model suffix is not appended.
That makes the patch unusable I'm afraid: as the auto-linking code requires absolute consistency in library naming.
In a more general sense, I'd appreciate it if you'd raise this issue on the boost-developer mailing list. It's not something that either Boost.Build or Boost.Config can fix on their own, and requires more general consensus from the Boost community that this is a good idea.

This has since been implemented.
Changed Component from "Building Boost" to "config".
