On my sytem, compiling boost with a freshly installed cygwin using this command: bash-3.2$ bjam --toolset=gcc --build-type=complete --with-filesystem stage produced boost_filesystem-gcc34-1_35.dll boost_filesystem-gcc34-1_35.lib libboost_filesystem-gcc34-1_35.lib (others ommitted) So cygwin has the same issue, but with an older compiler than mingw. --John
