[opensource-dev] Linux boost shared libraries

[Nicky Perian]

Yes, 3.4.3
No problem with LL v-d(1.52) or v-b(1.48). I build a 64 bit viewer for kokua and built it w/o the *.so but, did not link icu to the viewer. It built and runs Ok "i think". Just may not have reached the code where it it is needed. From Oz meeting this morning the shared libs are for boost regex. But, I still don't understand the need. The static libs are built against icu so the icu functions should be in boost regex *.a. The viewer is linked to the static so why is shared needed?   And, if shared are needed for linux why are they not needed for windows and darwin?
