I'm trying to build bjam from Boost 1.56.0 under cygwin. Running
./build.bat mingw errs with:

gcc -DNT -o bootstrap\jam0.exe  command.c compile.c constants.c debug.c
execcmd.c execnt.c filent.c frames.c function.c glob.c hash.c hdrmacro.c

filent.c:46:20: fatal error: direct.h: No such file or directory
 #include <direct.h>
                    ^
compilation terminated

More errors follow. What am I doing wrong?
