I am compiling boost 1.31.0 with mingw. Specifically the packages I am using are:
boost 1.31.0 with regex patch binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1.tar gcc-core-3.4.1-20040711-1.tar gcc-g++-3.4.1-20040711-1.tar mingw-runtime-3.3.tar
Boost builds find until bjam reaches the regex library. There seems to be a problem with wide character streams in the regex library. I don't think the latest mingw supports wide character streams. Is this correct? If so, how do I compile the regex library? If there is no workaround, is it possible to use mingw with STLPort and boost?
I think this is because gcc-3.4 was released after Boost-1.31 and consequently there are a lot of changes to libstdc++3 in gcc-3.4 that don't get auto-detected in the Boost.config system. This is fixed in current mainline cvs, so you could try replacing boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp with an updated version (attached). John.
