OT - option to strip lib off version on install
All: Sorry, slightly off-topic this time, but I know the last time I built the Boost libs, I specified an option to strip or rather create soft-links to versioned libraries, with soft-links stripping off version numbers (hope I'm clear); so that: libboost_date_time-1_31.so -> libboost_date_time.so libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-d-1_31.so -> libboost_date_time-mt.so Does any one of the top of their head know what that option is again?

The default is to create unversioned hard-links to the versioned libraries. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
