So to be clear, do you get an error from a file that contains only:

#include <boost/thread.hpp>

Yes.

Ok. It works for me.

Do you have any compiler flags beyond the absolute minimum:

g++ -I D:/local/boost/include/boost-1_37 -c minimal_test_file.cpp

Does the code compile if you include sys/select.h only? If so, can you find the closest file in the chain of #includes that causes an error.

Yes, it compiles.

If I add "-DUSE_W32_SOCKETS" to the compiler flags, the minimal file fails to compile.

Thanks. I can reproduce the problem now.

I've just tested sys/select.h by itself and it fails for me. Are you sure that it compiles:

$ cat test.cpp
#include <sys/select.h>
$ g++ test.cpp -c -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS
In file included from test.cpp:1:
/usr/include/sys/select.h:31: error: `fd_set' has not been declared
/usr/include/sys/select.h:31: error: `fd_set' has not been declared
/usr/include/sys/select.h:31: error: `fd_set' has not been declared
/usr/include/sys/select.h:33: error: `fd_set' has not been declared

As far as I can remeber it does not compile.

Sorry. I misinterpreted Yes, it compiles..

This seems to be a cygwin problem rather than a Boost problem as the error is caused by date_time's inclusion of sys/time.h.

Has this been communicated to the Cygwin development folks?

It seems direct linking of windows libraries and inclusion of headers is not allowed in cygwin. For details its in the following link.
