#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.
