I am trying to build boost using the win32 port of pthreads.
It turns out that this is a red herring for the build problem I was having. I get the problem even just using the win32 threads API.
Well, that's interesting; I can think of no reason that the pthreadwin32 options shouldn't affect anything about the build of the Regex library. Do you get the same results if you leave out the -sPTW32_XXX options?
Yes, I do :-(
The CMD file just contains a list of the object files.
Also interesting; the linker warning claims there were no object files specified.
I agree this is very odd.
Any ideas please?
I'm afraid I have no idea. I would probably start by whittling down the command line issued by bjam until you get sometihng that seems to be more-or-less correct, so you can identify what the problem is.
I tried downloading and running the boost "exe" from sourceforge. This distribution builds ok with the win32 port of pthreads. I have not diff'd it with the tarball I was using earlier but I suppose there must be differences to get this different behaviour. Very strange. Oh well, at least I have a working boost now.
