Hello,

I try to build the Boost 1.51 on the latest Cygwin version:

I'm using this commands:

export BZIP2_BINARY=bz2
export ZLIB_BINARY=z
export ZLIB_INCLUDE=/cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/zlib/1.2.7/include
export ZLIB_LIBPATH=/cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/zlib/1.2.7/lib 
export BZIP2_INCLUDE=/cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/bzip2/1.0.6/include
export BZIP2_LIBPATH=/cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/bzip2/1.0.6/lib

cd library/boost_1_51_0 
./bootstrap.sh 
./b2 --with-exception --with-filesystem --with-math --with-random --with-regex --with-date_time --with-thread --with-system --with-program_options --with-serialization --with-iostreams --layout=system link=shared runtime-link=shared threading=multi variant=release install --prefix=../boost/1.51.0 

./boost/filesystem/path_traits.hpp: At global scope:
./boost/filesystem/path_traits.hpp:224: error: `std::wstring' has not been declared

./boost/filesystem/path.hpp:409: error: invalid use of `::'
./boost/filesystem/path.hpp:409: error: expected `;' before "generic_wstring"
...

The Boost filesystem is not build on the command the full build process is stop with the error
Is this an error on my installation and how can I solve the problem?

Thanks a lot

Phil
