hi frederic,

i tried acording your recipe.  but got,

./tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam link=static threading=single
runtime-link=shared --layout=system --user-config=user-config.jam
--without-python release
syntax error at EOF

i think there are something error in user-config.jam or Makefile.

below is my Makefile:

BJAM=./tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam
BJAM_CONFIG=link=static threading=single runtime-link=shared --layout=system
PREFIX=/cygdrive/c/boost
EPREFIX=/cygdrive/c/boost
LIBDIR=/cygdrive/c/boost/lib
INCLUDEDIR=/cygdrive/c/boost/include
LIBS= --without-python realease
...

and my user-config.jam:

# Compiler configuration
using gcc : : : <cflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_API <cflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_PATH
<cxxflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_API <cxxflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_PATH
compilerflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_API <compilerflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_PATH;

any clue?  thanks.

across the current.
