I've just built boost1.31.0 using bjam under Linux, apparently successfully. There don't appear to be any static libraries for boost::thread. Is this correct?
It is correct and not correct at the same time. Boost.Threads cannot be built by bjam as static library, only dynamic libraries. It is because of some limitation in Win32 API and Linux was .so support was taken out by mistake. It should be fixed in next version. (The problem should be described in FAQ). You you really do not want to use .so and are sure problems won't hit you than add the source files into your project and compile them without bjam. /Pavel
