Dear Peter,
Just replace random_device.cpp with the new version:
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/random/src/random_device.cpp
I'm afraid that doesn't work. Please see the P.S. for the compiler-log if it helps.

It looks like mingw defines its own versions of windows.h and wincrypt.h that are missing a few declarations. Try the attached patch against 1.42. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
