Re: [Boost-users] MinGW Build Issues

Hi Chris I have also built some binaries for Boost on MinGW. You can download them here: http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/Binary_installer_for_Boost_on_MinGW I can provide the installer scripts etc if anyone's interested. I have built against these libraries and linked etc using SCons, but I'm sure other tools will do it too. Cheers JP Chris Miller wrote:

Why on earth I try and support Windows is beyond my comprehension. It's just something I do.

I'm having some massive difficulties making Boost build with MinGW so I can start using it from Code::Blocks. I've tried using Boost's native Jam system, but first I have to build that.

You don't have to build it; you can download a pre-built binary: http://tinyurl.com/2q36f.

For MinGW/Windows Vista, which one would I pick? I picked the "platform independent" one, which didn't work.

And that doesn't work.

It keeps telling me this:

It keeps trying to use the MSVC toolset, even though I'm telling it not to.

Any help here would be nice!

Have you tried:

set PATH= build mingw

?

That's not what the build instructions said. They said to use build.bat mingw, 'cause that's my toolkit. It kept trying it with MSVC for some odd reason.
