Re: [Boost-build] boost-build support for pre-built boost libraries?

Volodya,

I tried your suggested scriptlet, but there is a problem with the 
make-name rule which is invoked from the <conditional>:

It does not have access to the name of the target. If I follow your 
suggestion blindly I would have to supply an unique make-name for each 
and every library. I guess this was not your suggestion.

Then I tried to use the <tag> rule like so:

lib boost_program_options : : <name>real_name <tag>@tag ;

This looks better, because it does give me access to all needed 
information, but now I cannot change the name that is handed to the -l 
switch for the linker. Just "return decorated_lib name ;" does nothing :-(

Do you have any suggestions what I could try next?

Regards,
Roland
