I have a large executable that loads shared libraries as plugins. Some of those shared libraries dynamically link with an old boost version that's part of the system (/usr/lib) when they are loaded.
I want to build my own plugin shared library, but I want to use a newer boost version. I tend to link boost in statically.
My question is, will it cause any issues if I create a shared library that is statically linked with a newer version of boost, and have it loaded by the same executable that is dynamically linked with an old version of boost?
I hoping this'll work, as I can't upgrade the system boost very easily. --- Aaron Wright
It probably won't work as you're doing it. The only way I ever got this to half-work ever was to replace "boost" with "boost_version_number" in my boost source. It only half-worked but it was the right half. Sohail
