For some reason auto-linking is requesting a library with -mt in its name, but Boost.Build is generating one without it. Assigning this back to Rene because I think he understands auto-link. </p> Ticket René Rivera Thu, 31 May 2007 21:55:49 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/983#comment:6 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/983#comment:6 <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">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Closing this as fixed, as I've now confirmed it's no longer a build problem.
