Re: [boost] boost 1.39 to 1.40 difference: missing toolset and threading tag from library filename?

Is there a difference in the naming conventions of the libboost_*.so files from boost 1.39 to boost 1.40.0?

When I build the boost 1.39 libs they have filenames like...

"libboost_thread-gcc44-mt-1_39.so"

..but when I build boost 1.40.0 all the libs filenames are like so...

"libboost_thread.so"

Did the library naming change in 1.40 or are their new compile options to enable the library naming feature?

Yes, it has changed. The default on Unix is now --layout=system you can get the old behaviour with --layout=versioned But -- why do you want this naming that no other library on Unix has? - Volodya
