[Boost-users] Boost.Locale build missing usage-requirements

18 Nov 2011


      Hi All.
Library "Locale" from "Boost C++ Libraries" package has Jamfile.v2 in
folder "build". Target "boost_locale" of library in that jam-file
defined see below:

lib boost_locale
    :
        encoding/codepage.cpp
        shared/date_time.cpp
        shared/format.cpp
        shared/formatting.cpp
        shared/generator.cpp
        shared/ids.cpp
        shared/localization_backend.cpp
        shared/message.cpp
        shared/mo_lambda.cpp
        util/codecvt_converter.cpp
        util/default_locale.cpp
        util/info.cpp
        util/locale_data.cpp
    :
      # Don't link explicitly, not required
      <define>BOOST_THREAD_NO_LIB=1
      <link>shared:<define>BOOST_LOCALE_DYN_LINK=1
      <threading>multi
      # Meanwhile remove this
      <conditional>@configure
    ;

You can see: usage-requirements of target is not defined, and user of
library must define symbol BOOST_LOCALE_DYN_LINK=1 in own project....
I wrote email to author of library (Artyom Beilis), but he reject my
proposal of add usage-requirements to lib target.
May anybody with right-access to boost repository fix this???
