question about Boost naming
I am using Boost test library now and find there are several libraries there: libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-1_47.a libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-mt-1_47.a libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-s-1_47.a what are differences between the 3 libraies (with "s", or with "mt", or no "mt" and "s")? also, for VC++ compiler, there is: boost_unit_test_framework-vc100-mt-1_47.dll but MinGW have: libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-mt-1_47.dll libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-1_47.dll Why MinGW have more?
"mt" stands for "multi-threaded". Not sure about "s" ________________________________

libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-1_47.a libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-mt-1_47.a libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-s-1_47.a
what are differences between the 3 libraies (with "s", or with "mt", or no "mt" and "s")?
also, for VC++ compiler, there is:
boost_unit_test_framework-vc100-mt-1_47.dll
but MinGW have:
libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-mt-1_47.dll libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw46-1_47.dll
Why MinGW have more?

Are you sure the "s" stand for static? I know the extension ".a" for static library. Am I wrong? -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/question-about-Boost-naming-tp3734256p373... Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The thing that is "static" with the -s label is the linking against the C++ runtime library, not the Boost library itself. See the Getting Started guide on library naming: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html... http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#libra... -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se

I believe that the 's' stands for static runtime:
