I got the newest bjam.exe and had the same results. When I go into the $boost/lib/thread/test/bin/ and run the tests, test_mutex has errors, the others don't.
So I assume my linking to the pthreads is not working properly. is there info on how to tell boost which threads to use?
MinGW and Cygwin with -mno-cygwin should both link against the native threads. I'm still trying to track down some GCC specific issues, however.
Is that located in the threads.jam file?
Sort of.
Or do I just set the PTW32 ENV variable to point to the installation?
If you're using MinGW and for some reason want to use pthreads-win32 as the implementation, then yes, this would be what you'd do. Note, however, that this particular build hasn't been tested in quite some time, and I can't tell you what you're results will be. -- William E. Kempf
