Compiling like this works fine: bjam -sTOOLS=mingw I copy the threaded release-dlls to a relevant place and start using Boost.Thread. My code (which uses Boost.Thread) works fine on Linux. When compiling with mingw, I get a lot of lines like this: In file included from headers/Position.h:10, from main.cpp:7: C:/boost/boost/thread/thread.hpp:17:5: #error Thread support is unavailable! Tested with Boost 1.30.2 and latest CVS as of December 9 2003. If I compile with -DBOOST_HAS_THREADS and -DBOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS Then I get some warnings about the above constants being redefined, but things work fine. I believe that mingw is not recognized as a platform supporting native win32 threads, which is an error, as far as I know. By the way: I tried running ""configure"" with BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS=1 as described on http://boost.org/libs/config/config.htm#configuring but that didn't help. }}}",Bugs,closed,,None,None,,Works For Me,,
