Dear Volodya, as a Windows (and Linux and Mac) developer using boost both from VisualStudio IDE and from autogenerated makefiles of Cmake, I would suggest to either keep it as it is, although MSVC by default opens projects/solutions in debug mode. In other case I would suggest to add also debug mt variants; but building all variants not only takes ages, but also takes a very huge amount of disk space. Kind regards, Carlo Medas On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 3:24 PM, Vladimir Prus <vladimir@codesourcery.com>wrote:

Per:

we have a problem that the default set of libraries build on Windows does not match autolink defaults, which causes confusion. In that issue, John say that the only sensible solution for Windows is to build all possible variants by default (IIRC, a total of 6). I would like other Windows developers to comment if that is sensible solution. In particular, is it best to build all possible variants that user might need, or build just the variants that autolink needs by default, so that user can build other later.
Note that I can add arbitrary explanation messages into the build process -- both to warn the user that a scary pile of things will be built, and to warn the user that only couple of variants will be built.

I think it is needed also SCL_SECURE variant! it is really important...
I am afraid this is not the answer to my question. If you implicitly suggest that we build 12 variants by default, then I'm afraid this is just not practical. Nobody will have the patience to wait till the build is done.
