Re: [Boost-users] cannot build v1.35 on cygwin

Hello,

try ./bjam --build-dir=boost-binary --toolset=gcc <threading>multi 
<target-os>cygwin <threadapi>pthread

There is a thread in boost dev and on boost build related to this issue. The 
problem seams to be related to the fact that cygwin is seen as a 
cross-compiler and so you need target-os.

Good luck
