Subject: [Boost-build] 1.40.00 doesn't stage PDB files with LIB files
From: Todd Day (dsmtoday_at_[hidden])

These are really minor issues, the library itself builds just fine.

MSVC 8.0, with the following bjam arguments

bjam --without-python --stagedir=./ toolset=msvc-8.0 link=static
threading=multi runtime-link=static pch=off debug-symbols=on
debug-store=database stage

The build is not copying the PDB files into the same directory where it is
copying the LIB files for staging.

I had to use "pch=off" because without it, the math libraries were not
building. There is some sort of PCH/PDB conflict going on. With it,
everything builds fine, with seemingly proper PDB files (just not copied to
the staging directory).

Also, when the build is staging, it makes two copies of the library in the
stage directory, one with a version number and one without it. I only want
the version number copy. Is there any flag I can set to prevent the
creation of the non-version number copy?

Thanks for any help,
-todd-
