Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #959: linking fails when Boost is compiled with STLport 5.1.* on Linux (names mismatch) https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/959 <p> When compiled on Linux, STLport 5.1.* produces the following static lib names: </p> <p> libstlport.a<br /> libstlportg.a <br /> libstlportstlg.a </p> <p> but bjam expects: </p> <p> libstlport.5.1.a<br /> libstlportg.5.1.a<br /> libstlportstlg.5.1.a </p> <p> Notes:<br /><br /> 1) I have added to user-config.jam </p> <p> using stlport </p> <blockquote> <p> : 5.1.3 : "/home/torri/local/stlport" </p> <blockquote> <p> "/home/torri/local/lib" ; </p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p> 2) I have compiled boost with the following command: </p> <p> ../boost-jam-3.1.14/bin.linux/bjam --prefix=$HOME/local --with-thread --with-test stdlib=stlport --toolset=gcc install </p> <p> ($HOME == /home/torri) </p> <p> 3) After adding symbolic links to get the correct names (it's bad, I know), boost is corretly linked </p> <p> 4) The version number of the static lib will be dropped in the windows build of STLport 5.2 </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/959 Trac 1.4.3 René Rivera Thu, 24 May 2007 02:41:36 GMT status, component changed; owner, severity set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/959#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/959#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">René Rivera</span> </li> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">assigned</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">Building Boost</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">build</span> </li> <li><strong>severity</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">Problem</span> </li> </ul> <p> Too many changes needed to consider this for 1.34.1.
