linking fails when Boost is compiled with STLport 5.1.* on Linux (names mismatch)

[Vincent Torri]

When compiled on Linux, STLport 5.1.* produces the following static lib names:

libstlport.a
libstlportg.a
libstlportstlg.a

but bjam expects:

libstlport.5.1.a
libstlportg.5.1.a
libstlportstlg.5.1.a

Notes:

1) I have added to user-config.jam

using stlport

: 5.1.3 : "/home/torri/local/stlport"

"/home/torri/local/lib" ;

2) I have compiled boost with the following command:

../boost-jam-3.1.14/bin.linux/bjam --prefix=$HOME/local --with-thread --with-test stdlib=stlport --toolset=gcc install

($HOME == /home/torri)

3) After adding symbolic links to get the correct names (it's bad, I know), boost is corretly linked

4) The version number of the static lib will be dropped in the windows build of STLport 5.2

Too many changes needed to consider this for 1.34.1. It's a know issue, and was always planned to be fixed for 1.35.0.

[René Rivera]

Not sure when we can fix this.

[Vladimir Prus]

We won't fix this one, because nobody could understand what naming scheme STLport uses in which version. Should a clear information about naming appear, please file a new ticket.
