Re: [Boost-users] Mingw cross compilation

Hi James,

I managed to cross-compile static release builds of serialization, 
filesystem, system, date_time, and program_options from boost 1.35.0 
with i386-mingw32 gcc 4.3.0 (http://mingw-cross.sourceforge.net/) under 
Fedora 8 using a three-step procedure:
- create a user-config.jam file with content:
      using gcc : : i386-mingw32-gcc : ;
- run bjam (assuming you have compiled it already):
        bjam --user-config=user-config.jam --toolset=gcc link=static release ...
- manually run i386-mingw32-ranlib on the generated libraries

There might be a better way to do this, but at least the above worked 
for me.
