Hi, all:
Happened to notice that boost 1.47.0 is out, therefore, I just downloaded boost_1_47_0.zip and would like to try it out .
However, I wanna try to use MinGW to build boost this time.
1) I strictly followed
2) Also, I referred to
However I always obtain the following errors:
Failed to bootstrap the build engine
Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details
In bootstrap.log, I had the following error messages:
builtins.c:32:23: fatal error: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
execunix.c:17:26: fatal error: sys/resource.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
fileunix.c:98:17: fatal error: ar.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
The reason seems to be in the current installed MinGW (the newest version), there seems to be no
sys/wait.h
sys/resource.h
ar.h
it's suggested that "Don't use sys/wait.h for mingw targets" .
It could be this reason that sys/wait.h is not included in current MinGW installation,
which actually influence the current boost 1.47.0's bootstrap !!!
Can anybody give me a hand on this?
Cheers
Pei
