Boost: Update 8
Major fixes:
- The "Select Boost Options" was improved:
- In previous versions, it was possible to unselect both Shared and Static
options, so that there would be nothing to be built. This was solved by
creating a choice menu "Compile Boost libraries".
- A new choice menu was also created for Boost Run-time linkage called
"Selects Boost Run-time linkage", which is used to select the C and C++
runtime. This choice menu obeys to the required restrictions by boost
options [1].
- Fixed the invalid combination where boost shared version could be linked
to C and C++ static runtime. This is not allowed by the boost builder.
- Added new menu where a Boost building variant can be chosen from 3 options:
- Release: The optimized version for daily use.
- Debug: The debugging version, for testing purposes.
- Profiling: The profiling version for evaluation purposes.
- Improved options help descriptions.
Minor fixes:
- Makefile Version was bumped from 6 to 8 because the previous update [2] did
not bumped the value acordingly to the submission rules.
- Removed stuff that was not doing anything: "-sBUILD=release"
- Changed builder executable from "bjam" to "b2" which is the correct caller:
- "bjam" is the old name and exists only for compatibility purposes.
