Re: bjam and windows command line problem.

I have been unable to build threads on cygwin using gcc or gcc-nocygwin. One thing I am puzzled by is that the tar file I downloaded does not have make files in tools/build/jam_src as David says.

BTW: Does *anyone* build all of boost under Cygwin with "gcc -mno-cygwin"? I have so much trouble with this that I think I must be the only one trying to do it. Greg Silverman --- In Boost-Users@yahoogroups.com, "silvermangbs" wrote: there a

I don't know, but rebuilding bjam within cygwin is as easy as

make CC=gcc

Good. John said it won't work for Win32 executables, but it seems that it will work for cygwin-based apps; I might find a use for that.
