Re: [Boost-users] Re: Need linking help for boost::filesystem

Hello,

as i had some similar problems where to find built libraries, but on
Unix/Linux/Cygwin, i used the attached Makefile-patch with version
1.30.2 to get all built libraries into a better-defined location, as
some of the libs already get there:
libs/<name>/build/bin-stage/libboost_<name>.* for the normal libs,
libs/<name>/build/bin-stage/libboost_<name>_debug.* for the debug-libs.

Then, i put some softlinks into my /usr/local/lib using just simple
ln -s <boost>/libs/*/build/bin-stage/libboost_* /usr/local/lib/
and i got the headers known to the compiler with
ln -s <boost>/boost /usr/local/include/

Actually i don't know why the location of some of the built libs were
already put into its build/bin-stage, and others were not, nor which
location would be the right one.

However, as i've seen you're not really happy with jam,
just to mention: have you ever seen confix.sourceforge.net ?

Thanks,
   haubi
