When Boost Filesystem is built with bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" or bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" on MinGW, the resulting static library is a .lib consisting of .obj files. However, it is traditional for gcc to use .a files which consist of .o files. I fix this by hand by renaming the .obj files to .o and then executing ar rvs libboost_filesystem.a *.o , but it would be nice if bjam would get it correctly by itself.
You need to use a cygwin build of bjam if you want cygwin-protocol file extensions. Cheers, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
