RE: [boost] Re: Re: feature wish for boost 1.32.1 or 1.33.0: pkg- config support

From: Neal D. Becker [mailto:ndbecker2@verizon.net]
So, do you mean you want to use pkg-config to record the settings that were used to build boost? If so, I misunderstood. This might be useful.
Indeed, that's how pkg-config is used. However, as a full-blown boost build process will result in quite a number of different configurations, the pkg-config approach would need to reflect that. For example, boost would need to generate one pkg-config script for each configuration that has been built. Regards, Stefan
