Hi,

Why does G++ have no auto-linking like VC?

It's probable that nobody on this list knows.

Why? I assume the question has come up before and Boost developers have looked at what g++ supports.

Because we're not familiar with the detailed rationales used by the GCC team in deciding what features to support. I suggest you ask on a list where the GCC developers are. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
