Hi,
I've tried this but it seemed not to work at least for date_time:( I may be not insistent enough though..:)
Well I've double checked and date_time *is* guarded by both BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB and BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB, so there must be some object files that you haven't rebuilt. You're linker error messages should tell you what those object files are I believe, but failing that make sure you clean *everything* and then do a full rebuild, don't skip any object files, shortcuts don't work :-)
OK, thanks. It's a rather time-expensive experiment though, so I'm not sure I'm ready to repeat it right away. Still I pomise to do it in some days;). Just my five cents. I don't think that some macros are actually needed for allowing autolinking work in case of system install layout. Anyway, all library/dll names are pretty straitforward in this layout and traditional explicit linking isn't a problem. I would suggest just to document --layout option in getting started documentation section and state clearly that autolinking isn't intended to work in this layout (just because it is not needed) and actually it just won't work. So BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB etc. is a requirement if one wants to build in this layout. TIA -- Serge
