I want to use Boost libraries with my MinGW compiler installed in my Linux Desktop, since I want to cross-compile a few programs for ms-windows. Though I have Boost installed in my system for native compilation, but I am unable to compile it for MinGW. Recently I have tried to compile Boost for MinGW, first by executing the following commands :- export CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc export CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-c++ export LD=i586-mingw32msvc-ld export AR=i586-mingw32msvc-ar export AS=i586-mingw32msvc-as export NM=i586-mingw32msvc-nm export STRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip export RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib export DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32msvc-dlltool export OBJDUMP=i586-mingw32msvc-objdump export RESCOMP=i586-mingw32msvc-windres and then :- ./configure make but it still produced native libraries..... Please tell me how to achieve that, or if you have any link where I can find proper instructions to do so. Thanks --------------------------------- Why delete messages?
