Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [bjam] Building Regex with static runtime
Hello John, linking
I want my program to be statically linked to runtime libs, which is
using
Boost.Regex.
I'm using the following command:
bjam --toolset=msvc-9.0 --builddir=./ --address-model=32 --link=static --runtime-link=static --threading=multi stage --build-type=complete --with-regex
But I get the following error message:
error: link=shared together with runtime-link=static is not allowed error: such property combination is either impossible error: or too dangerious to be of any use
IMO, the option specified by "--link=static " is overlooked by bjam. What's the problem?
Thanks for any information.
There are two issues here: it should be link=static runtime-link=static i.e. without the leading "--", and also build-type=complete then conflicts with the request to build static lib's only. The easiest option is to just specify "--build-type=complete" and leave out the other options, otherwise it would need to be something like:
bjam toolset=msvc-9.0 link=static runtime-link=static release ebug --with-regex
I have tried with this bjam toolset=msvc-9.0 link=static runtime-link=static release debug --with-regex stage but I get WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration failed. See http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html for configuration instructions or pass --without-python to suppress this message and silently skip all Boost.Python targets error: link=shared together with runtime-link=static is not allowed error: such property combination is either impossible error: or too dangerious to be of any use In fact, I have ever used this bjam --toolset=msvc --builddir=./ address-model=32 link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi stage debug release --with-program_options and got the expected lib's (So do test, date_time, thread, signal, serialization and filesystem). But with this bjam --toolset=msvc --builddir=./ address-model=32 link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi stage debug release --with-regex -sHAVE_ICU=1 (with or w/o -sHAVE_ICU=1 does not make difference) I got the a.m. error message. How is Regex different from program_options in this matter?
which should give you 2 static lib variants linked against the 2 msvc
static
runtimes.
HTH, John.
Thank you very much, John. You are always warm-hearted and very helpful. :-) B/Rgds Max
