I have to work on Windows, but I don't have any idea about compilers and environments on this platform. My preference would be to use a CygWin environment with MinGW's gcc compiler to facilitate setting up a scripted nightly build incorporating Boost and my own code. Some others might want to use native Microsoft compilers and tools though. Steps so far: 1) Got/installed MinGW: MinGW-5.0.0.exe 2) Got/installed Boost: boost_1_33_1.exe 3) Opened Cygwin terminal and added MinGW/bin to path 4) cd-ed to boost_1_33_1/tools/build/jam_scr 5) . build.sh > result.txt Got these errors in results.txt: ### ### Using 'gcc' toolset. ### rm -rf bootstrap mkdir bootstrap gcc -o bootstrap/jam0 command.c compile.c execnt.c execunix.c execvms.c expand.c filent.c fileos2.c fileunix.c filevms.c glob.c hash.c hdrmacro.c headers.c jam.c jambase.c jamgram.c lists.c make.c make1.c newstr.c option.c parse.c pathunix.c pathvms.c regexp.c rules.c scan.c search.c subst.c timestamp.c variable.c modules.c strings.c filesys.c builtins.c pwd.c class.c native.c modules/set.c modules/path.c modules/regex.c modules/property-set.c modules/sequence.c modules/order.c execunix.c:19:24: sys/times.h: No such file or directory execunix.c: In function `execwait': execunix.c:187: error: storage size of 'old_time' isn't known execunix.c:187: error: storage size of 'new_time' isn't known fileunix.c:95:17: ar.h: No such file or directory fileunix.c: In function `file_archscan': fileunix.c:232: error: storage size of 'ar_hdr' isn't known fileunix.c:241: error: `SARMAG' undeclared (first use in this function) fileunix.c:241: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once fileunix.c:241: error: for each function it appears in.) fileunix.c:242: error: `ARMAG' undeclared (first use in this function) I suspect that there is more involved in getting a proper Windows development environment set up. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A simple list of steps would be great. If none exists, I will provide one to the group once I have this sorted out.
