- builds the most recent boost version (1.31.0)
- respects PTHREAD_{CFLAGS, LIBS} (credits for the PTHREAD_LIBS part
go to Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@crodrigues.org>)
- builds all boost libraries
- installs docs into DOCSDIR, and examples into EXAMPLESDIR (as
before), but the hyperlinks to the example files are corrected (pls.
report if you find some broken links)
- has new various tunable options, such as
o WITH_DEBUG
o WITHOUT_THREAD
o WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS
o VERBOSE_BUILD
- forced major numbers for shared libraries (everything defaults to
.so.1, and is symlinked to .so)
- installs the possible versions of the libraries (w/ or w/o
debugging or threading support) with the same suffix- and prefix-less
name, e.g. instead of libboost_filesystem-gcc-debug-s.so.1 (the gcc toolset,
debugging info and single threaded) and
libboost_filesystem-gcc-m.so.1 (gcc toolset, release version, multi
threaded), there now is only libboost_filesystem.so.1.
