#11253: BOOST_LIB_PREFIX problem with boost 1.58 and Visual C++ 2013
-----------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous  |       Type:  Bugs

Component:  None       |    Version:  Boost 1.58.0
 Severity:  Problem    |   Keywords:
-----------------------+------------------------------
 I've successfully compiled both static and shared boost libraries with
   b2 variant=release link=shared runtime-link=shared threading=multi
 and
   b2 variant=debug link=shared runtime-link=shared threading=multi

 When trying to compile a small sample using boost_filesystem only, the
 linker complaints about a missing libboost_filesystem<etc>.lib (both with
 static -MT and dynamic -MD options): in fact, all the required *.lib
 archives are present in the right path, but their name begins with boost_,
 not *LIB*boost_.

 I've had to fix boost/config/auto_link.hpp line 367, changing the
 definition of BOOST_LIB_PREFIX to "" instead of "lib" to get the automatic
 linkage work properly.
