[Boost-users] bjam problems under cygwin/mingw

Dear boost-users,

I compiled boost-1.33.1 under cygwin/mingw and experienced two problems:

1. using the .exe installer, build/jam_src/build.sh uses dos newlines.
The latest cygwin can not execute this script because of this.
dos2unix has to be used.

2. Before I figure out the dox2unix solution, I compiled bjam using
msvc. The generated bjam.exe ignores -sTOOLSET=mingw and use msvc even
when cl is not in the path.

Cheers,
Bo
