Hello,

I want to compile libboost_context.a for windows 32 on my ubuntu 64.

for that, I specify the following in my user-config.jam file
using gcc : : "i686-w64-mingw32-g++" ;

and then, I run the following:
b2 --with-context toolset=gcc target-os=windows variant=release link=static
address-model=32 binary-format=pe architecture=x86

this gives me the following error:

libs/context/src/unsupported.cpp:7:2: error: #error "platform not supported"
 #error "platform not supported"
  ^

It seems like the context library of boost is not supported to compile for
windows on linux?
Is it the case?

Thanks,
