Hello all,

I'm trying to cross compile boost python under linux to windows using the
mingw32 compiler. Static linking works great, but when trying to make a
dll, I get the following errors:

gcc.link.dll
bin.v2/libs/python/build/gcc-mingw-mingw32/release/target-os-windows/threadapi-win32/threading-multi/libboost_python-mt.dll.a
/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find -lutil
/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find -lpthread
/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find -ldl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My compile line is:

b2 --with-system --with-date_time --with-python --with-filesystem
--with-program_options -j 4 toolset=gcc-mingw32 target-os=windows
threadapi=win32 variant=release --layout=tagged -sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1
link=shared

All the other libraries (system, date_time, program_options) generate dlls
sucessfully.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
