Yes, its documented somewhere within the boost.org getting Started Pages, or bjam documentation. I uncovered it a few months ago - but I am unable to relocate the documentation using boost.org search. I'm sure it's there somewhere.
*g* "somewhere" is a good choice
I am unable to get MSVS static library builds to follow this naming convention - but, I'm glad to know it works for DLL's. It does work as advertised for gcc built static libraries.
But I have got a problem, I have build boost under VS with the --layout=system option, *.lib and *.dll files are named without any tags. Now I would like link this libraries and the linker tries to search eg libboost_system-vc100-mt-s-1_51.lib also with the tags, but it does not find the lib, because it is named boost_system.lib (same problem with the DLLs) My linker command shows: link /nologo /out:myprogram.exe /LIBPATH:library/boost/1.51.0/lib boost_program_options.lib boost_system.lib Do you have an idea why the linker calls the wrong file? Thanks Phil

Thanks,
that works, but is there a documentation for this flag?
Thanks

Hi.
I'm using Boost under MSVC (build from source). Can I change the output library name of the compiled libs? Under unix systems the libs are named: libboost_<sublib>.so Under Windows ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/more/ getting_started/windows.html#or-simplified-build-from-source ) there are a lot of other information in the filename. So I need only a special build type (no debug, mt, etc), so I would like to tell b2, that the name of the libraries are only boost_<sublib>.dll under Windows.
I am not really sure I understand what you want here, but does perhaps the Boost library build script's '--layout' options solve your problems? It changes the way Boost library targets get their file names generated.
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić
