[Boost-users] Can't build Boost sgd libraries using VC

[Ed Bronkowski via Boost-users]

Boost Library Building

Using: Visual Studio 2013 Professional

 

Hello,

 

I'm unable to build "sgd" libraries. I keep creating "gd" libraries.

 

PLEASE DON'T REFER ME TO THE DOCUMENATAION. I'VE READ IT SEVERAL TIMES.

 

The impression I get from the documtation is that --runtime-link=static should produce 's' libraries.

 

Below is one b2 command that I've tried.

 

b2

--variant=debug

--runtime-debugging=on

--runtime-link=static

--threading=multi

--address-model=32

--toolset=msvc-12.0

--stagedir=C:/Libs/12.0/Win32/dbg

--build-dir=./intermediate/32/debug

>bx32debug.log 2>&1

 

I've tried numerous variants. None have produced sgd libs (or anything with s).

 

I don't explicitely link to Boost libraries. Boost header files cause "automatic" linking to "mt-sgd" libraries.

 

Years ago, I created sgd libs with no problem, but can't find the b2 commands I used then.

 

I was using an older version of Boost, and VC.

 

Any help appreciated.

You are passing the command line parameters incorrectly; the leading -- is only for certain options.

Why this is not an error is a mystery, but the following works for me;

b2 variant=debug runtime-debugging=on runtime-link=static threading=multi address-model=32 toolset=msvc-14.1
