Re: [boost] building boost (regex) in mingw

I've also tried

bjam --build-dir=./tmp --toolset=gcc stage --with-regex

but this does not create .a .so files, but only .lib files that I cannot use with mingw compiler...

Oh yes you can use them :-) For linking to the dll's, just pass the name of the dll on the linker command line, no need for a .a file at all. For static linking you can either pass the linker the full name of the .lib file, or else rename it to a .a extension so you can use -lboost_regex to link. HTH, John.
