[Boost-users] Boost compile and link problem

Dear all,

I have built boost under windows by using Cygwin and the usual 
configure, make, make install approach and for the gcc toolset I think 
this was the default one so that I have not done any configuration 
changes.(however i got a message that not all boost libraries are not 
properly installed.)

I am trying to compile a very simple program to see whether things are 
going fine or not, (Since I have a program which is actually written 
under LINUX by using boost library, I have to port that to windows for a 
small project.)

I am using the cygwin command line tool .

I am supplying the include file directories for include 
options(-I/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/ since I use Cygwin) but 
I do not know what to supply for link options(I was supplying 
"-L/usr/local/opt/boost-1_33_1/ lib -lboost_filesystem-gcc" under linux 
but did not work for windows, I have changed the path to proper values.) 
I have check the libboost_... under libs/ but confused me more.

I am quite new to library build and compilation and linkage with the 
library(at least under windows since under linux pre-built packages are 
easily downloaded by an apt-get), maybe I am mistaken at some points 
above, but I appreciate advice and help.

Have fun,

UMUT
