On Debian/squeeze in /usr/lib I have:
/usr/lib/libboost_python-py25.so /usr/lib/libboost_python-py26.so
I'm trying to build
/usr/lib/libboost_python-py27.so
to go with a pythonbrewed version of python 2.7 by specifying --buildID=py27. But bjam keeps generating only
libboost_python.so.1.42.0
and then a link to
libboost_python.so
How do I get bjam and the Jamroot of boost to give me an appropriately named .so? I'm guessing the package maintainers managed to do it......
The command lines I have tried are:
bjam --layout=tagged --buildID=py27 --with-python
bjam --buildID=py27 --with-python
At least with the latest Boost version you should be able to do:
b2 --python-buildid=py27 --with-python
But if you must use 1.42 the syntax would be:
bjam --buildid=py27 --with-python
In other words.. The options are in lower case and are case sensitive.
