Hi, all: Happened to notice that boost 1.47.0 is out, therefore, I just downloaded boost_1_47_0.zip and would like to try it out . However, I wanna try to use MinGW to build boost this time. 1) I strictly followed http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/more/getting_started/windows.html 2) Also, I referred to http://cboard.cprogramming.com/windows-programming/126599-how-set-boost-up-m... However I always obtain the following errors:
Failed to bootstrap the build engine
Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details In bootstrap.log, I had the following error messages:
builtins.c:32:23: fatal error: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. execunix.c:17:26: fatal error: sys/resource.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. fileunix.c:98:17: fatal error: ar.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
The reason seems to be in the current installed MinGW (the newest version), there seems to be no sys/wait.h sys/resource.h ar.h What's more, from http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/74260/ it's suggested that "Don't use sys/wait.h for mingw targets" . It could be this reason that sys/wait.h is not included in current MinGW installation, which actually influence the current boost 1.47.0's bootstrap !!! Can anybody give me a hand on this?
