Cygwin has been shipping clang for six months or so. Has anyone gotten the cygwin/clang distribution (or any other clang distribution) to build boost?
What toolset did you use?
What does your user-config.jam file look like?
Do you run bjam/b2 from the Windows command line or the bash command line?
Thanks,

I do not use cygwin, however I have successfully been building and using Boost with Clang on Windows using the toolchain provided by rubenvb over at the Mingw-w64 project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Wi... My user-config.jam is empty. I compile with the following command line (windows command line):
set OLDCD=%CD% pushd %BOOST_ROOT% set OLDPATH=%PATH% set PATH=%MINGW32_CLANG%;%MINGW32_CLANG%\bin\;%PATH% b2 -j %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% toolset=clang cxxflags=-std=c++11 address-model=32 architecture=x86 --stagedir=stage/clang-x86 link=static runtime-link=static threading=multi debug-symbols=on define=WINVER=_WIN32_WINNT_VISTA define=_WIN32_WINNT=_WIN32_WINNT_VISTA stage > %OLDCD%\clang32.txt set PATH=%OLDPATH% popd
Unfortunately Boost is detecting the compiler as "clang.linux", but other than that it seems to work for the most part. The stuff that doesn't work: * Boost.Context (it fails to assemble its assembler files) * Boost.Math (it attempts an 'rm' command, I assume because it thinks it's on *nix) * Boost.Python (the same ::hypot error that also plagues GCC in C++11 mode) Most everything else seems to work okay (though I have to use pragmas to disable a LOT of warnings when including boost headers, though that may simply be because I have all warnings enabled). Clang support on Windows still needs a lot of work (Ruben tells me that there's about half a person working on it on the Clang side), but perhaps some interest from the Boost community would help drive some more investment into the platform?
