Hi! My first e-mail to the list. :) I am Spanish. Sorry for my English, :/ Boost is a blessing. I have not words. I like to build the library in Windows 7 (VC2010, MingW with gcc-4.5.2) and Linux (Ubuntu 11.10 with gcc-4.6.1). No problem with VC2010. No problem with Ubuntu 11.10 with gcc-4.6.1. However i am unable with MinGW gcc-4.5.2. My steps (works with boost-1.47.0 perfectly(?))): 1. Open mSYS 2. ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=mingw 3. Open project-config.bjam and modify... # Compiler configuration. This definition will be used unless # you already have defined some toolsets in your user-config.jam # file. - if ! mingw in [ feature.values <toolset> ] - { - using mingw ; - } - project : default-build <toolset>mingw ; + project : default-build <toolset>gcc ; 3. mkdir stage 4. bjam -a --build-dir="./stage/" --build-type=complete toolset=gcc stage I get: - has_icu builds : no warning: Graph library does not contain MPI-based parallel components. note: to enable them, add "using mpi ;" to your user-config.jam - iconv (libc) : no - iconv (separate) : yes - icu : no - icu (lib64) : no - g++ -shared-* supported : yes - ../config//has_gcc_visibility builds : no - ../config//has_long_double_support builds : yes warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam. note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam. note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message. warning: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration note: failed.
