Hi, I have had a terrible time when trying to crossbuild. Is it really not possible with boost? I want to build, on linux, boost for win32 programs (to crossbuild programs using boost), using mingw g++ compiler. It worked fine with other libraries, usually just CXX=i586-mingw-msvc-g++ && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/win32/ && make install but it do not work with boost / bjam :-/ I even got wine installed and installed MinGW 5 and MSys there, the MSys didnt worked (probably wine windows emulator fault), as for MinGW bjam have problems with some shell commands like it tries to call MkDir1, raf256@lore:~/.wine/drive_c/boost_1_33_1$ wine ../bjam/bjam.exe Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it). ****************************************************** Building Boost.Iostreams with bzip2 support disabled.
