Hello,
I try to build Boost with MinGW / MSYS. I have found in the dokumentation http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/more/getting_started/windows.html that MinGW shell is not supported, but I can build bJam with booststrap.sh --toolset=mingw under the shell, but I get the error: mingw.jam: No such file or directory
Can I build boost under MinGW shell or another shell with the MinGW gcc?
FWIW I built my mingw Boost library collection using a windows .bat containing b2 -a --build-dir=i:/boost-trunk toolset=gcc-4.7.2 --build-type=complete --without-python --without-mpi --without-locale stage threading=multi > build_gcc_dll_libs_trunk_all_%date%_%tim%.log 2>&1 getting the expected lots of files like libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw47-mt-d-1_52.dll.a in my boost-trunk/stage/lib folder and I can link to Boost.Test library from mingw32 using Ruben's binaries http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32\Personal%20Builds/ru benvb/ \i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-win32_rubenvb.7z there are also others like 4.6 and clang - see https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20W... ubenvb/ I added this tool chain on NetBeans. My user_config.jam contains # GCC configuration using the mingw32 version. using gcc : 4.7.2 : "c:/mingw32/bin/g++.exe" ; HTH Paul --- Paul A.
