Re: [Boost-users] Compiling boost for Windows Mobile

You can also use SCons (www.scons.org).  I use it in place of Jam, and 
just use the appropriate headers directly or build libraries (e.g. 
boost::threads) of the Boost pieces I need.  The Boost config headers 
have the necessary definitions for the various compilers, and there's 
only occasionally a few extra #defines needed.  SCons can also build MS 
Project files.  I use it because I have a lot of F95 code as well that 
CMake doesn't handle gracefully.  I suspect that might be irrelevant for 
Windows Mobile though....
