#47811: Boost uses nonstandard layout ----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mjpost@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Keywords: | Port: boost ----------------------+-------------------------------- The boost Portfile specifies '--layout=tagged' in its build.args. This allows multiple boost variants to be installed, I suppose, but also makes it hard to link against boost libraries which assume the Unix standard boost layout, which is '--layout=system' (which doesn't decorate libraries with config options like "-mt". It seems to me it would be preferable to use the default layout, on the assumption that people who really require different variants will have the technical know-how to install them from source to nonstandard locations. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47811> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
