Re: [Boost-users] RE Can i build boost under cygwin?

I use only static library so I do want to spend so much time to build all possible libraries but you can remove "link=static threading=single runtime-
> link=shared --layout=system" to get all of them built.
link=static -> boost library are static
runtime-link=shared -> c++ standard library is dynamically linked
threading=single -> I do not understand the difference between single and multi, the documentation is not clear to me
layout=system -> you do not get the release numbers in the names of the library. Also the boost include directory is directly in include, there is no additionnal 1.34.1 directory in between.
