I have spent so much time to find how to build boost with only one combination of release/debug, multithreading, static/shared... that I want to record the method in the archive for other potential users. By default boost is build 16 times which corresponds to all combinations of: - release/debug - multithreading on/off - static/shared link - runtime static/shared link It takes ages to compile and we get roughly 1 giga-bytes of data.
In general you need only one combination of these options but it is not very well documented how to set these options.
My understanding from a Microsoft runtime perspective is that if you link with a different runtime version of the library, there is a possibility that object created within one runtime heap may potentially be destroyed in another runtime heap causing application to fail. The release and debug heap is different, so are those between single and multithreaded. Anyone know more about this different runtime heap? Regards
