Last I heard, boost lost its Cygwin maintainer; and old libraries aren't likely to work with a newer compiler. This page http://cygwin.com/packages/boost-devel/boost-devel-1.43.0-1 confirms that: "boost-devel: Obsolete package (installed binaries and support files)" so try building boost yourself. > (And BTW, what's the difference between libraries ending with .dll.a and .a > alone? '.dll.a' is a convention for naming import libraries. > And what does -mt stand for?) AFAICR that library-name suffix meant multithreaded. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
