[Boost-users] [1.34.0] building on cygwin fails out of the box

14 May 2007

      All,

Trying to build 1.34.0 out of the box on Cygwin yields the following errors
when trying to install it.
Ideas?

./tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam  --user-config=user-config.jam
--prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib
--includedir=/usr/local/include  install
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature).

Not all Boost libraries built properly.
