Is this problem unique to Boost? Does any other library encode 32 vs 64 bit variant in library name?
FWIW:
The OSS project I'm involved with depends directly on Boost, Python, Qt, OpenEXR, FFTW and Embree. On Windows we don't use any 32/64 bit variations of the filenames of any of our libraries.
Instead we keep two separate directory trees for 32bit and 64bit dependencies, everything from source to lib/dll files.
FYI, separate folders is what, AFAIK, CoApp+NuGet native packages use and what, hopefully, is becoming a de-facto standard on Windows. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
