#44118: boost library names are of the form libboost_foo-mt.a ---------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: dave@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: boost | ---------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:8 egall@…]:
Any idea why the buildbot built previous versions of boost with the `+universal` variant, but not more recent ones?
The only time the buildbot will build a port with a universal variant is if some port that is 32-bit only depends on it, and it will only be built when that 32-bit-only port is committed (in other words, it won't happen when boost is updated; it'll happen when the 32-bit port that depends on boost is updated). I don't see any ports that currently fit that criteria, except for povray in certain circumstances, so maybe some other port used to be 32-bit only and has since been upgraded to support 64-bit. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44118#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
