[Boost-users] Regex as shared library with MinGW

Hi, I was surprised to see that Boost.Regex doesn't compile to a shared library when using MinGW. The following lines in lib/regex/build/Jamfile.v2 prevent it: <toolset>gcc-mw:<link>static <toolset>gcc-mingw:<link>static <toolset>gcc-cygwin:<link>static After commenting them out, the library builds as a Dll. I searched for a reason for these 3 lines, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone on this list know why they are there? The program I'm porting to windows works fine with the Dlls build with MinGW. Thanks.
