 Priority:  Normal                |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                 |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:  boost networking c++  |       Port:  cpp-netlib
----------------------------------+--------------------------------
 cpp-netlib is a very useful C++ networking library that lives in the Boost
 ecosystem. Not yet an official Boost library but has a strong integration
 with the rest of it.

 I have preserved the official name cpp-netlib instead of prefixing a
 "boost-".

 I need advice on one issue: the default installation of boost is with
 +no_static. This only installs shared libraries. The default build process
 for cpp-netlib is creating static libraries and depends on the static
 boost libraries. I have chosen no to change the defaults (i.e., cpp-netlib
 does not have a +shared default). As a result of this if one attempts to
 install cpp-netlib over a default boost install it will fail and the only
 error is in the log file, a complaint that it cannot find the static boost
 libraries it needs.

 IMHO, the port should check if the variants are compatible but I could not
 find how to programmatically check the variants of another port that is
 already installed. I would appreciate some pointers. Thanks!
