Here's what I trying below (as a first time Boost advocate). I need Boost 1.50 libraries for use with VS2010/12 (Win64) and gcc 4.4.2/4.63 (QNX). I am trying to create static library with position independent code to be linked with executable and shared objects/libraries too. Am I heading the wrong direction? Any suggestions/criticisms? (I'm having issues compiling MPI with qcc currently and why it is turned off in the build). For MSVS: bjam -a -q -j4 --prefix=%DRIVE%\boostVS2010 --build-type=minimal --build-dir=%DRIVE%\boostBuild_VS2010_%BOOSTVER% toolset=msvc --variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared --without-python --without-mpi install >build.log 2>&1 For QCC: bjam -a -q -j4 --prefix=%DRIVE%\boost --build-type=minimal --build-dir=%DRIVE%\boostBuild_QCC_%BOOSTVER% --layout=system toolset=qcc target-os=qnxnto threadapi=pthread --variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared cxxflags="-DFD_SETSIZE=2048 -march=pentium3 -mtune=k8-sse3 -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse -mstackrealign -Wc,-fPIC,-std=c++0x,-std=gnu++0x" --without-python --without-mpi install >build.log 2>&1 Boost newbie, SGL -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Armin Pies Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2012 11:49 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] statically linked boost libs with VS2010 missing ?

August 2012 02:22 An: boost-users@lists.boost.org Betreff: [Boost-users] statically linked boost libs with VS2010 missing ? Hi all, I'm new to boost, and I'm trying to compile a windows console app statically so the end user doesn't need vcredist. I've changed my code generation options to use /mt (static multithreaded) instead of dynamic multithreaded, but the linker cannot find any libs with libboost*-sgd*.lib (ie.any static boost libs), and they certainly don't exist on my computer. I've performed a --clean-all and recompiled boost using "b2 link=static", but the libs are still missing, even though the compile seems to work fine - and the generated libs are actually following the dynamic naming convention, not the static convention. Is this some MSVC toolchain issue ? Is there another option I need to be using for this toolchain ? thanks Trevor. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
