Re: [Boost-build] Building lib from dll - generator disambiguation

I think I have got this to something that looks likely to work, but is  
still giving a problem.  The question, I think, is how can I disambiguate  
these rules so that the libfromdll.libfile is selected?  The documentaion  
claims to be out of date on the subject, and I can not find an  
explaination in the archives.

Any help appreciated...

Hugo

generators.register-standard libfromdll.libfile
    : SHARED_LIB
    : IMPORT_LIB SHARED_LIB
    ;

The remain problem is that when used this causes:

Trying to produce type 'SHARED_LIB' from:
  -  { gsl.dll.SHARED_LIB }
Generators that succeeded:
  -  msvc.link.dll
  -  libfromdll.libfile
First generator produced:
  -  { msvc%msvc.link.dll-gsl.dll.SHARED_LIB  
{ libfromdll%libfromdll.libfile-gsl.lib.IMPORT_LIB { gsl.dll.SHARED_LIB }  
} }
  -  { msvc%msvc.link.dll-gsl.lib.IMPORT_LIB  
{ libfromdll%libfromdll.libfile-gsl.lib.IMPORT_LIB { gsl.dll.SHARED_LIB }  
} }
Second generator produced:
  -  { libfromdll%libfromdll.libfile-gsl.lib.IMPORT_LIB  
{ gsl.dll.SHARED_LIB } }
  -  { libfromdll%libfromdll.libfile-gsl.dll.SHARED_LIB  
{ gsl.dll.SHARED_LIB } }
