linker error on static lib usage with new lib name scheme about boost-cpp-feedstock HOT 9 CLOSED

It should be set "CXXFLAGS=/DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB"

from boost-cpp-feedstock.

Can you try doing set "CXXFLAGS=/DBOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE" before the cmake invocation? You'll have to clean the build dir and rebuild after making the above change.

Alternatively, can you try changing line https://github.com/boostorg/config/blob/boost-1.67.0/include/boost/config/auto_link.hpp#L410 to

# pragma comment(lib, BOOST_LIB_PREFIX BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME) ".lib")

from boost-cpp-feedstock.

Well done, set "CXXFLAGS=/DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB" solves the problem!
Thanks for your fast answer!

The only question is: is this more like a workaround to solve a boost problem or is this the way you have to take when using static boost libs.
For me it looks more like a workaround when --layout=system is used to compile boost and then using boost static libs...

Okay, I just tested the second way with # pragma comment(lib, BOOST_LIB_PREFIX BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME) ".lib") which works also quite fine.

Maybe it would a good idea to patch this file in the package, that the user just can call -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON and all works fine?

@isuruf I just tried out your PR, create a boost-cpp package which I used to build my specific projects and currently it looks good and work like a charm :)

Okay, it seems we have to go one step back.
I just tried the potential new package with my minimal project and the setting -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=OFF. This was with the latest package not a problem. but now with the PR dynamic lib usage looks for libboost_system.lib and not for the needed boost_system.lib. So the failure is vice versa from the original issue.

we removed static libs
