Hi, I'm running into some large frustrations with trying to compile the Boost library on WinXP using MinGW 3.4.2 (I would like to compile it so that I can use the project_options). I can't get the library to compile and I'm finding that the opaqueness of the error messages and the lack of troubleshooting documentation are very well effectively preventing me from making progress. Either this gets resolved quickly, or I'll have to drop Boost from my project and implement the functionality I need with other libraries or by hand. It seems that every compilation rule inexplicably fails when I run the jam script. I'm using the command "bjam -sTOOLS=mingw install". All the compiling rules fail and then the header files get copied. A sample of the failure messages are below. Unfortunately, the error messages do not give me any useful clues as to what is going wrong. I've also tried the command "bjam -sTOOLS=mingw stage" and received equally unimpressive results. Any help on this would be very much appreciated. -- Colin gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build \boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\gr eg_month.obj g++: no input files "c:\MinGW\bin\g++" -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-255 -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -D USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO -g -O0 -fno-inline -mno-cygwin -I"bin\boost\lib s\date_time\build" -I "c:\MinGW\include\" -I "C:\boost_1_33_1" -o "bin\boost\lib s\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\greg_month.obj" "C:\boost_1_33 _1\libs\date_time\build\../src/gregorian/greg_month.cpp" ...failed gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\ming w\debug\greg_month.obj... gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\gr eg_weekday.obj g++: no input files "c:\MinGW\bin\g++" -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-255 -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -D USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO -g -O0 -fno-inline -mno-cygwin -I"bin\boost\lib s\date_time\build" -I "c:\MinGW\include\" -I "C:\boost_1_33_1" -o "bin\boost\lib s\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\greg_weekday.obj" "C:\boost_1_ 33_1\libs\date_time\build\../src/gregorian/greg_weekday.cpp" ...failed gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\ming w\debug\greg_weekday.obj... gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\da te_generators.obj g++: no input files "c:\MinGW\bin\g++" -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-255 -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -D USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO -g -O0 -fno-inline -mno-cygwin -I"bin\boost\lib s\date_time\build" -I "c:\MinGW\include\" -I "C:\boost_1_33_1" -o "bin\boost\lib s\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\date_generators.obj" "C:\boost _1_33_1\libs\date_time\build\../src/gregorian/date_generators.cpp" ...failed gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\ming w\debug\date_generators.obj... ...skipped <@boost!libs!date_time!build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug>boost_da te_time-mgw-d-1_33_1.dll for lack of <@boost!libs!date_time!build\boost_date_tim e.dll\mingw\debug >greg_month.obj... ...skipped <@boost!libs!date_time!build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug>boost_da te_time-mgw-d-1_33_1.lib for lack of <@boost!libs!date_time!build\boost_date_tim e.dll\mingw\debug>greg_month.obj... ...skipped <@boost!lib>boost_date_time-mgw-d-1_33_1.dll for lack of <@boost!libs !date_time!build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug>boost_date_time-mgw-d-1_33_1.dl l... ...skipped <@boost!lib>boost_date_time-mgw-d-1_33_1.lib for lack of <@boost!libs !date_time!build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug>boost_date_time-mgw-d-1_33_1.li b... gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\th reading-multi\greg_month.obj g++: no input files "c:\MinGW\bin\g++" -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-255 -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -D USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO -g -O0 -fno-inline -mthreads -mno-cygwin -I"bin \boost\libs\date_time\build" -I "c:\MinGW\include\" -I "C:\boost_1_33_1" -o "bin \boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\threading-multi\greg _month.obj" "C:\boost_1_33_1\libs\date_time\build\../src/gregorian/greg_month.cp p" ...failed gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\ming w\debug\threading-multi\greg_month.obj... gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\th reading-multi\greg_weekday.obj g++: no input files "c:\MinGW\bin\g++" -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-255 -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -D USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO -g -O0 -fno-inline -mthreads -mno-cygwin -I"bin \boost\libs\date_time\build" -I "c:\MinGW\include\" -I "C:\boost_1_33_1" -o "bin \boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\threading-multi\greg _weekday.obj" "C:\boost_1_33_1\libs\date_time\build\../src/gregorian/greg_weekda y.cpp" ...failed gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\ming w\debug\threading-multi\greg_weekday.obj... gcc-C++-action bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\mingw\debug\th reading-multi\date_generators.obj g++: no input files -- ********************************* Colin Smith smithco@gmail.com *********************************
