Re: [Boost-users] Auto-linking + serious Xplatform dev => mutuallyexclusive?

Am I missing something? Is this only useful on Windows? I'd love for it to work in general, but I think I have to replicate the logic in my build system which means I shouldn't really use it on Windows (since my logic will already be there).

It's only useful if your compiler supports it, period. However, those compilers that do support it typically have a number of different binary-incompatible build variants: figuring out which lib variant to link against without it in those cases is tricky, this is a frequent cause of problem reports caused by picking the wrong variant. Actually, I could never really understand why more compilers don't support this :-( John.
