Hello.

I want to unit test my programs. For this, I want to use
boost_unit_test_framework.
After reading this:

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial/prebuilt.html

I've come up with these two lines in a Jamfile, to specify the proper static
library in Linux depending on the variant:

lib boost_unit_test : : <name>boost_unit_test_framework-mt-gd <variant>debug
;
lib boost_unit_test : : <name>boost_unit_test_framework-mt <variant>release
;

So far so good. Now problem is when I try to build on Windows; I'm forced to
change the above lines like this:

lib boost_unit_test : : <name>libboost_unit_test_framework-mt-gd
<variant>debug ;
lib boost_unit_test : : <name>libboost_unit_test_framework-mt
<variant>release ;

(Note the "lib" I had to add after the "<name>" part).

Is there any way to have bjam prefix libraries with "lib" if I'm building in
Windows?
Thanks and happy New Year!

Claudio
