I tried to find out that gd
means in boost library name and I only found two other people looking for the same thing.
I suppose it should be a place where this is clearly documented and I would like to find it.
mt
- multitheaded, get it with bjam threading=multi
s
- bjam runtime-link=static
g
- using debug versions of the standard and runtime support libraries. what bjam switch???d
- debug bjam variant=debug
How do I control what bjam
switches controls the above variants? In fact the only one that I wasn't able to identify is the g
.
See Boost getting started windows section 6.3 naming and section 6.1 on Unix naming
The ones that deal with -mt and d are
-mt Threading tag: indicates that the library was built with multithreading support enabled. Libraries built without multithreading support can be identified by the absence of `-mt`.
-d ABI tag: encodes details that affect the library's interoperability with other compiled code. For each such feature, a single letter is added to the tag as listed in this table:
Key Use this library when (Boost.Build option)
s linking statically to the C++ standard library
and compiler runtime support libraries.
(runtime-link=static)
g using debug versions of the standard and runtime support libraries.
(runtime-debugging=on)
y using a special debug build of Python.
(python-debugging=on)
d building a debug version of your code.
(variant=debug)
p using the STLPort standard library rather than
the default one supplied with your compiler.
(stdlib=stlport)
