I was trying to test my code on gcc and since do not have access to linux, I used cygwin gcc v 4.3.2 with boost 1.38.
I first built bjam (it went Ok). copied it to /bin then created symlink g++ to gcc-4 (cygwin has gcc 4.3.2 as gcc-4)
and then with this command bjam toolset=gcc variant=debug release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared stage
started the build
thread library built (although I am not sure if pthreads are supported on cygwin, may be it was just a dummy library). Many link errors.
So wanted to ask if anybody has tried - or if you guys would recommend to try the same with gcc-3.4
I have not yet switch from 1.37 to 1.38 but I use the following user-config.jam to run the regression tests. Can you try with it? It has to be put in your home directory using gcc : cygwin_4.3.2 : /usr/bin/g++-4 : <compileflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_API <compileflags>-DBOOST_POSIX_PATH ; and bjam --with-toolset=gcc-cygwin_4.3.2 Avis : Ce message et toute pièce jointe sont la propriété d'Alcan et sont destinés seulement aux personnes ou à l'entité à qui le message est adressé.
