Re: [Boost-users] [serialization] linking

Volodya,

Thanks for responding!

When I run bjam (using Boost Build v2) to compile an executable that 
uses the serialization library, it appears to look for either the wrong 
version of the library or the right library in the wrong directory.

Here's what I see: I've tried to set up my projects to always use the 
default settings. So I do not have any explicit setting of either the 
<link> or <runtime-link> flags anywhere. So all of object files get 
compiled in the directory

bin/msvc-8.0express/debug/threading-multi

I am therefore guessing that bjam then looks unsuccessfully for a 
statically linked serialization library in

$(BOOST_ROOT)/bin.v2/msvc-8.0express/debug/threading-multi

That directory contains only a dynamically linked version (so the name 
does not have the prefix "lib").

Of course, the directory

$(BOOST_ROOT)/bin.v2/msvc-8.0express/debug/link-static/threading-multi

seems to have the desired library.

I'm not sure what's going on.
