#26466: finer control of boost -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: manphiz@… | Owner: adfernandes@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: haspatch | Port: boost -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by adfernandes@…): You know, building boost is such a horrible experience... I like your suggestions. So... boost should build, buy default, only the `release`, `multithreaded`, `shared` code. That should cut down on build times. I am quite busy for the next few days - could I ask you to patch the Portfile so that `threading=multi`, `link=shared` is the default, with `single` and `static` as variants, and test it? I believe that on a Mac, `runtime-link=shared` is the only option that has any effect; OS X, as far as I know, does '''not''' support static linking of the runtime the way Linux or FreeBSD do. Thanks for your input! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26466#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
