Hi, is it possible to build boost.python such that the python version gets embedded in the .so name along with the compiler name, version, multithread flags, etc? For example, "libboost_python25-gcc41-mt-1_35.so" instead of "libboost_python-gcc41-mt-1_35.so"
Alternatively, is it possible to build it without the embedded SONAME so that it can be renamed afterwards?
Thanks in advance,
According to Rene Rivera, who knows about this but says he's too busy to give a better answer until next week, The short answer is that Boost.Build supports it. But it means changing the boost-root/Jamroot file to do it. Best I can do, sorry. Rene is your man. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
