Thanks Merrill,
The error i'm getting is:
.....mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lboost_thread
I am using gcc, but I'm not sure I understand your response - does it
matter what the prefix is and if there's a lib prefix? Was I
right in changing those to match the unix style?
Thanks,
Imran

.dll is for shared libraries on Windows. .lib is for static libraries on Windows.
.so and .a are for shared/static on Unix/Linux.
It shouldn't matter whether you are using GNU make or not. MinGW uses
g++ to do the linking, and it's g++ that has the file ordering requirement
on the command line.
On the other hand, if you aren't using g++ (or gcc, which calls g++), then
maybe your linker doesn't have the ordering problem.
Is the error you are getting about unresolved references?
