I have never worked with boost or the regex libary but need it as a 
dependency for another project.

I could compile the libary for Visual Studio 2005 (VS8),
but the docs give not a single hint how to compile with mingw on Windows 
(here XP).

I tried gcc an generic, but that does not work

H:\boost_1_40_0\libs\regex\build>mingw32-make -fgcc.mak
gcc.mak:37: "Building Boost.Regex without ICU / Unicode support:"
gcc.mak:38: "Hint: set ICU_PATH on the nmake command line to point "
gcc.mak:39: "to your ICU installation if you have one."
mkdir -p gcc
mkdir -p gcc/boost_regex-gcc-1_40
Syntaxfehler.
mingw32-make: *** [gcc/boost_regex-gcc-1_40] Error 1

H:\boost_1_40_0\libs\regex\build>mingw32-make -fgeneric.mak
mkdir -p generic
Ein Unterverzeichnis oder eine Datei mit dem Namen "-p" existiert bereits.
Folgender Fehler trat auf: -p.
mingw32-make: *** [generic] Error 1

How should it be done?
