Can you clarify what exact naming scheme you want? Say, what should be the names for dynamic library, static library, and import library for boost_xyz?
I think everything would work if static libraries made with mingw and kin used .a as the extension instead of .lib.
For example:
boost_xyz.dll -- dynamic library boost_xyz.lib -- import library libboost_xyz.a -- static library
The mingw compiler seems to prefer libboost_xyz.a over boost_xyz.lib, so it chooses the correct one.
That is actually what it _should_ be doing according to http://tinyurl.com/6pu5c4, and IIRC that is what it has done in the past (but I may not recall correctly :) ) --John
