Currently, the auto_link.hpp helps users declare a library in their
header files. For example:
#define BOOST_LIB_NAME boostlibrary
#define BOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE
#include

This means one would rely on how boost mangles the name of the library. For the most part, I don't mind how this is done, however, I would like to specify my own version number for the library. Is there a way to do this or do I need to copy the entire file into my own directory and replace BOOST_LIB_VERSION with another define for my library?
How about setting BOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE and then mangling the name passed
to BOOST_LIB_NAME?
For example:
#define BOOST_LIB_NAME "mylibrary-" BOOST_STRINGIZE(MYVERSION_NUMBER)
#include

HTH, John. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users I also have different libraries bases on compile options (multi-threading, static, etc). This is why I wanted to have boost mangle the name but allow me to place my own version number. If I turn mangling off and supply my own version number with the library name,
