Re: [Boost-users] FW: Boost Build Variations: One Missing, One Extra!

If you check the jamroot file the variants are:

variant=debug,release; 
threading=single,multi; 
link=static,shared, 
runtime-link=static,shared

A total of theorical 16 combinations, but some are incompatible or just
doesn’t have sense.

Forwarding this to Boost.Users (at the moderator's discretion), as this
is a Boost usage question, as well as a Boost.Build question.

Many thanks,
