I am not using /usr/local and it works very fine:

- unzip boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2
  > tar xvfj boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2
- go in boost_1_34_1
  > cd boost_1_34_1
- fix a bug in boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp:
 - replace "define BOOST_FS_FUNC_STRING std::string" by "define BOOST_FS_FUNC_STRING inline std::string"
- build jam (use the prefix where you want to install the library):
       > configure --without-icu --without-libraries=python --prefix=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg
- change Makefile:
       - BJAM_CONFIG=link=static threading=single runtime-link=shared --layout=system
       - LIBS=--without-python release
- change user-config.jam:
       - add: using gcc : : : <cflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_API <cflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_PATH  <cxxflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_API <cxxflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_PATH compilerflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_API
<compilerflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_PATH ;
- build boost:
       > make install

Regards,

F. Bron
