Hi,
I need to link my application with boost c++ libraries. On Linux, I need to add "boost_date_time.a", but on Windows, it is some thing like this "boost_date_time-mgw-mt-d-1_33_1.lib". How can I solve this problem?
TIA
Hi, you may create two different targets for the same project, something like "Win32" and "linux", and then you may add the libs to each target.
You can also build your boost libraries (see documentation) with the --layout=system parameter for a generic naming without versions nor compilers "build info", so you'll have the same names in Linux or Windows platforms. For instance:
C:\Devtools\boost_1_34_0\libs\date_time\build>bjam --toolset=gcc release --without-python --layout=system
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature).
