[Boost-users] RE MinGW Build Issues

From: frederic.bron_at_[hidden]

If it is of any help: I build boost from cygwin (-mno-cygwin) for a programmer using Code::Blocks. It works fine. I just copy the library to his PC. Here is what I do:

$ tar xvfj boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2
$ cd boost_1_34_1
- fix a bug in boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp: replace "define BOOST_FS_FUNC_STRING std::string" by "define BOOST_FS_FUNC_STRING inline std::string"
- build jam:
$ configure --without-icu --without-libraries=python --prefix=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw
$ change Makefile:
- BJAM_CONFIG=-sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 link=static threading=single runtime-link=shared --layout=system
- LIBS=--without-python release
- change user-config.jam:
using gcc : : : <cflags>-mno-cygwin <cflags>-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API <cxxflags>-mno-cygwin <cxxflags>-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API <compilerflags>-mno-cygwin <compilerflags>-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API <linkflags>-mno-cygwin
;
- build boost:
$ make install
