Re: [Boost-users] need help configuring Boost for CodeSourcery ARMg++ compiler

Looks to me as if it thinks it's trying to build a Mingwin/Cygwin DLL, which isn't appropriate here: you could try a native cygwin build of bjam so it's not assuming it's building for Windows.

I'd built bjam myself under Cygwin with the default compiler.

Note that most Boost libraries can be treated as "just a bunch of sources" and built with whatever your favorite build tools are: in the case of Boost.Regex just build libs/regex/src/*.cpp into a shared or static library. There are also some sample makefiles in libs/regex/build that should be easy to customise if that helps.

Thanks, I've got a system built now - but I'll bear this in mind for the future. --rob
