Re: [Boost-build] bjam and -gd- tag

Thank you very much Volodya: now I have my -gd- libraries ready!

I don't have a deep knowledge of  the boost-build system, but I must
admit that the differences in feature names between V1 and V2 is a bit
confusing.

I am now having a problem with static libraries: it seems I can obtain
the static library version of boost-signals using the features
"runtime-link=static" and "link=static" (I guess this from the file
size), but the targets I get are not prefixed with "lib"
(libboost_signals-(...).lib), as they use to be with bjam V1.

So I would like to ask you: is this the correct way to generate static
library targets with bjam V2?

Thank you in advance,
Francesco.
