Actually, I already have cygwin (and always used boost with that without any problem); so I should build boost regex for mingw using cygwin?
any help is more than welcome :-)
OK, this what I do to build 1.37.0 for win32 from cygwin:
$ ./configure --with-libraries=regex --prefix=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw This builds bjam and write a default user-config.jam and Makefile that you have to change like this:
BJAM_CONFIG=-d2 -j2 -sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared threadapi=win32 --layout=system LIBS=--with-regex release
in user-config.jam replace "using gcc ;" by: "using gcc : : : <compileflags>-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API <compileflags>-mno-cygwin <linkflags>-mno-cygwin ;"
You can then build boost with $ make install >& install.log
This will build regex and install the headers. Headers and .a will be in /cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw which you can adapt to your needs.
I you also want dynamic labraries, you can just remove link=static (?).
mhh... the compilation and installation seemed to work fine... but I can't seem to use it from the msys shell: it does not see any header, and it keeps on seeing as /usr just / ... probably msys installation is messed up with mingw? I have no past experience with mingw (and when I port programs on windows I've always used cygwin)...
