I'm scratching my head, trying to figure out why the import libraries are not generated when I build the Boost libraries on my machine. More specifically, building the DLLs works fine, but where I would previously (i.e. before I reinstalled my machine) generate the import libraries correctly.
Some specs:
- Boost 1.33.1
- g++ 4.3.3 TDM-1 release for Windows
- Building with
gcc
toolset from MS Dos command-line prompt - UnxUtils (after 14-04-03)
The command-line that invokes bjam.exe looks like this:
"C:\.../boost_1_33_1/tools/build/jam_src/bin.ntx86/bjam.exe" --debug-configuration -d2 -q --builddir=C:/.../trunk/XTemp/gcc.debug/boost_1_33_1 toolset=gcc threading=multi define=BOOST_WINDOWS define=_GLIBCXX__PTHREADS linkflags=-shared-libgcc runtime-link=shared variant=debug --v2 linkflags=-out-implib=boost_thread.lib
This used to work wonderfully before and produced the desired file boost_thread.lib
, but not anymore. I really don't know what's going on and I would like to know exactly what the linker receives on the command-line and what it thinks it should do with it.
Thanks,
Carl
