statically linking to Boost.Threads with OSX (darwin)
I've built and installed boost on a Mac OSX system (with the 'darwin' toolset). I would like to use static linking. However, the installer is only building the .dylib version of libboost_thread and not the .a version. I thought only Win32 was forced to use dynamic linking? Is there a similar issue on OSX? Thanks, Aaron Simmons

Actually, although static linking only had problems on win32, it was disabled for all platforms. This will be changed in the 1.32 release. Mike

I have read mentions that a win32 implementation of boost.threads that will support static linking is in the works. What is it's status at the moment, can it be merged in its present state in the 1.31 release ? -- Best regards, Sebastien mailto:smartel@real.com

It is completed for VC++ 6 and 7.1 (and for Intel using VC++ as the backend, I believe). We hope to add support for other compilers in future releases.
can it be merged in its present state in the 1.31 release ?
Nothing's impossible, but I think it would be a lot of work. Mike
