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 which should give you 2 static lib variants linked against the 2 msvc static runtimes.
