[Boost-users] fail to pick up win32 port of pthreads lib at link time

I am still stuck on building boost with the win32 port of pthreads.
After hacking win32.h to turn on pthreads I hacked msvc-tools.jam,
adding an include option to the compilers command line, telling it
in which directory pthread.h may be found. So now it all compiles.
But it fails to link. I do not know enough about how boost jam works
to be able to do a similar tweak to the linkers command line.
And I am very uneasy at having to do these sorts of hacks.
Surely there must be a better way. Can anyone help please?

Regards,

Andrew Marlow
