#31134: boost: reduce default threading variants ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: tvb377@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.2 Keywords: | Port: boost ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ This is a follow up to ticket #26466. There is no difference (except in the library names) between threading=multi and threading=single on Darwin/OSX. Linux (at least Suse) install the libs as threading=multi (default on linux) and layout=system (also default). boost_*-mt.so are simply links to the appropriate solibs. Suggestion (partly already in #26466): Use layout=system, threading=multi (the defaults for darwin). If felt necessary, create symbolic links to -mt libs. Drop the variant no_single. Benefit: reduce the horrible build times by 50%, be compatible with linux, save disk space. Risk: presumably none (at least if providing the symbolic links). I could prepare a patch or test some dependents if the idea is ok. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31134> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
