build under MSVC with changed library name

11:33 a.m.

Hello, 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-si... ) 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. How can I do this renaming on the compiling call? Thanks Phil

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.

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.

I found the --layout option also, but I don't know how to use the option. I think this flag can solve my problem, but do you have any documentation? Thanks Phil

See the main Boost library build script - Jamroot. Its header comment documents all of the options implemented there. You can get the same information displayed by running 'bjam --help' in the Boost library's root folder. And as for the --layour option - you specify it on the command-line used to compile boost libraries, e.g. '--layout=versioned'. Hope this helps. Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić

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. 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?

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

I have setup the flags:

and now VS builds a correct working executable

5:35 p.m.

But at the moment I can build Boost & a my program, but if I run the program it crashs. I think the /D flags are incorrect. The main function shows boost::program_options::options_description l_description("allowed options"); return 0 I have build Boost with variant=debug or release and --layout=system but the compiled program crashs Am 23.08.2012 um 18:36 schrieb Lemay.Steve:
