Hi all, Is there such a thing as a binary for Boost under MinGW? As far as I can tell, the correct way to get started with Boost on MinGW is to download the .EXE installer, unpack to c:\Boost, then run bjam "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=c:\MinGW" "-sTOOLS=mingw" install I found that this didn't install the libraries where I expected, however. I found this comment: http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~dfischer/manual/manual_topic38.html#topic41 which says that I have to do a bunch of manual file moving/renaming. Is that right? Really? There must be a better way, surely? Please let me know if I'm missing something, or if there is a better way to get started with Boost under MinGW/MSYS. Cheers JP
