#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.
