Re: [Boost-users] Specifying library locations for g++

I know nothing about unix so this could be a useless suggestion.  I think in
the unix world they use '/' to separate directories (rather than '\').  Is
that relevant?

No, this fails, too:

D:\Temp>g++ -Wall -O3 -ID:\C++\Boost\Current -o boostbuildtest.exe 
boostbuildtest.cpp -Lc:\boost_current\lib -lboost_regex -lboost_f
ilesystem
d:\apps\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.1.1\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\
ld.exe: 
cannot find -lboost_regex
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've also tried variations making sure that the case of the paths in the
command 
line matches what Windows shows (because, in the past, I've had trouble with
Gnu 
tools treating paths case-sensitively on Windows).  Still no luck.

Other suggestions?

Scott
