The boost/build/v1 common-names rule computes a toolset name of "bcb56" when using borland-5.6.4-tools. The boost/config/auto_link.hpp file does not discriminate between bcb5.5 and bcb5.6, using "bcb". Auto link therefore fails.
I have made the following local fix to auto_link.hpp, since to me the common-names toolset name computation seems to be self-consist across toolsets.
Whould it be possible to fix either auto_link.hpp or the boost build v1 common-names rule - whichever makes more sense.
I would think the auto link needs fixing, as you suggest. Otherwise it would not be possible to test with different versions of borland on the same machine. But there is a problem in that if someone uses the regular borland toolset against a 5.6 install the autolink would then fail as it would have bcb56, but the raw toolset would produce bcb. Don't know how to solve that problem though :-( -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq
