Comment (by Marcello Pietrobon <marcello.pietrobon@…>):

 I have checked again this ticket I made and actually I see that the
 statement I made:
 [[BR]]
 ''This is because stlport.jam ((probably this jam file) '''forces''' the
 link to the stlport with its own names, therefore '''bypassing''' what is
 specified in the file STLport-5.2.1\stlport\stl\config\_auto_link.h''
 [[BR]]
 is not true.

 I made a different change in STLport-5.2.1\stlport\stl\config\_auto_link.h
 and things work fine now.

 I still find there is something puzzling with a jam file (stlport.jam?),
 because it's still true the part that I wrote above that I'm repeating
 here:

 {{{
 with
 using stlport : 5.2.1 : ....
 the library searched was stlportstld.5.2.lib

 with
 using stlport : vc10.5.2.1 : ....
 the library searched was stlportstldvc10.5.2.lib

 with
 using stlport : xyz.5.2.1 : ....
 the library searched was stlportstldvc10.5.2.lib i.e. not
 stlportstldxyz.5.2.lib
 }}}


 Unfortunately I don't have time to further investigate the reason of this
 behaviour.
 Thanks.
