==> boost lib version >= 1.37

==> boost lib version >= 1.37

[Dieter Best]

Hello,

I need the boost lib version >= 1.37

I have the following system (I just updated, so this should be fairly recent)

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 best 1.7.2(0.225/5/3) 2010-03-24 21:12 i686 Cygwin

This seems to come with boost version 1.33_1

Does anyone have any instructions how to install the newest boost lib on cygwin.

Thanks a lot in advance.

You will not find anything in cygwin. You have to built the library
yourself which what I do:

* untar
$ ./bootstrap.sh --without-icu --with-toolset=gcc
$ ./bjam --layout=system --user-config=user-config.jam release install

Thanks for the instructions. Is there anything about the
user-config.jam people should know about or can we do without it?

./bootstrap.sh creates a local userconfig.jam. You have to tell to use
it or it will search for one in your home directory. You can add some
configuration flags in it if needed.
