I have tried to declare alternative libraries for static and shared linking. Here’s what I have so far :

 local rule boost_lib_std ( id : shared-lib-define )
 {
-    lib $(id) : : : : <link>shared:<define>$(shared-lib-define) ;
+    local opt = [ property-set.create <link>static <target-os>darwin <toolset>clang <threading>multi ] ;
+    local lib = /opt/local/lib ;
+    local path = [ path.join $(lib) [ tag_std $(id) : STATIC_LIB : $(opt) ] ] ;
+
+    lib $(id) : : <link>static <file>$(path) ;
+    lib $(id) : : <link>shared <tag>@tag_std : : <define>$(shared-lib-define) ;
 }

The problem is that the lib properties are hardcoded and I can’t think of way to get them within boost_lib_std.

Is there any chance to have <tag> and <file> work together (resolving the file path the same way library name are resolved for shared libraries) ?

Hoping that makes sense...
