[Boost-users] [Q] BBV2 -- How to control naming of libraries...

This is another getting started question:
 
I noticed that when I staged the build of the boost libraries, unlike
BBV1, the lib names were of the form boost_xxx.so.  I would like to be
able to control the naming (and staging) such that ib names are prefixed
with 'lib' and have a version number for a suffix.  For example, instead
of 
 
boost_xxx.so
 
I would like the libs to be named
 
libboost_xxx.so-1.32.0
 
Must I modify the <lib> target in each Jamfile.v2 to accomplish these
ends? 
 
Thanks, again
 
Michael
 
P.S. Still haven't solved the unresolved reference to test_main. I now
suspect that the libraries did not get built correctly (I used bbv1)
because I can take source code directly from the examples and it fails
with the same error.  Hence, I'm trying to build using BBV2.
