Hi,
I've created a set of patches that together allow boost to build on cygwin.
- https://github.com/boostorg/asio/pull/463 - https://github.com/boostorg/context/pull/322 - https://github.com/boostorg/process/pull/533 - https://github.com/boostorg/stacktrace/pull/219 - https://github.com/boostorg/system/pull/137
I also made a tracking issue with links to all of them:
Being cygwin a POSIX emulation layer, I'm curious why the patch directs Asio to use the win32 API. Maybe the cygwin POSIX-like API is not complete enough for Asio's needs?
The patch seems to me to do the exact opposite; direct Asio to use POSIX.
