Re: [Boost-users] how does one compile boost for MinGW?

Hi,

I know it's stated that compiling boost for MinGW is not supported, but still, I see some online resources about this. I tried several approaches, but none of them seem to work.

Is there any authorotive information on how does it really work?

The approaches I tried and which all failed so far:

- try to compile boost running bjam.exe from a Windows Command Prompt

This should work. Where "work" means "builds some libraries". Some others, for example wide-character boost.serialization, will not build on mingw, no matter what you do. - Volodya
