Hi,

When I compile Boost i get the following error (for several libraries):

I have tried to compile Boost in the directory "b" and/or with the
options "--md5" and/or "--abbreviate-paths" but nothing helped. 

As mingw is advertised in the "Boost's additional test compilers
include:" section I guess that i (in theory) should be possible to
compile it.

Does anyone hav any idea how to achieve this? How can I compile Boost
1.42 using Mingw both static AND dynamic? 

TIA
