Hello,<br>What I&#39;m trying to accomplish is to link against pre-built boost library that lives in $BOOST_ROOT/stage/lib, <br>but the default naming convention comes with a boost version at the end:<br>    boost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-gd-1_47.lib <br>
I don&#39;t want to hardcode the exact name because some clients use older version of boost.<br><br>unfortunatelly I cannot do something like this (or maybe I&#39;m wrong):<br>    exe myExe : some.cpp /boost//unit_test_framework<br>
because that would build test library and I want to prevent that.<br><br>I want to keep variants and compiler version in the name so --layout=system and --layout=tagged does not help me either.<br><br>One solution would be to get rid of the boost version suffix(prefferable) and second would be to read BOOST_VERSION from boost/Jamroot and append that to the name of a library file, because I don&#39;t want clients to hardcode their boost version in jamfiles manually. How do I do that?<br>
<br>Regards<br><br>
