Actually this *may* be a Boost.Build issue, test_exec_monitor has as a
usage requirement:
lib boost_test_exec_monitor
: # sources
$(TEST_EXEC_MON_SOURCES).cpp
: # requirements
<link>static
: # default build
: # usage-requirements
<link>shared:<define>BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK=1
;
And it's that <link>static that's causing the issue, if I build lockfree
with:
bjam link=static
Then everything is fine. But otherwise there are errors inside
Boost.System as both BOOST_SYSTEM_STATIC_LINK and BOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK
are getting defined.
Anyone understand this?
John.
