 Reporter:  piotrek.orzechowski@…  |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new                    |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost         |    Version:  Boost 1.57.0
 Severity:  Problem                |   Keywords:  Boost gcc qnx mingw
-----------------------------------+---------------------------------
 I'm trying to build 'system' library from Boost under Windows using
 command:

 > bjam --toolset=gcc  target-os=qnx
 > --build-dir=c:\boost_1_57_0  --build-type=complete --with-system stage

 and keep getting error:

 The rt lib seems to be missing, where can I obtain such lib to
 successfully compile 'system' lib?

 Changing bootstrap argument between gcc / mingw doesn't help.
 Before using bootstrap I set path to mingw using:

 > set PATH=c:\mingw\bin;%PATH%

 and change bootstrap.bat in line 38 to:
 > set toolset=gcc

 Any idea how to successfully compile system library under windows for QNX?
