Can't build on cygwin

[nobody]

boost 1.32.0 from cvs

while i'm trying to compile it under cygwin with:

bjam -sTOOLS=gcc install

i have an error:

unknown target type for <@boost!libs!test!
build>libboost_prg_exec_monitor.

Anybody can help me?

Thank you,

Ditto with boost v.133!  I cannot believe this was posted
way back in February, but the problem has not since been
fixed!  Anyone?

To give more detail: I downloaded and built bjam from source
on cygwin, and ran the same command as above, except I
supplied a --prefix argument to install in a non-default
directory.

Sorry ... my previous followup was obnoxious.  I realize
many dedicated people are working very hard on fixing the
inevitable ton of reported bugs, of which this is only one.
 So, let me put it another way: I would greatly appreciate
it if someone could fix this bug that prevents building
Boost on cygwin.

Thanks in advance,
Dan.

We need more information about this problem. Could someone
please post a fuller log of what the errors are and the full
invocation of bjam. Also what shell is bjam being run from?

Ok, I reproduced this with boost 1.33.0 and some recent
cygwin installation on W2K.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open bash
2. Change to boost root.
3. cd tools/build/jam_src/
4. ./build.sh
5. cd ../../../
6. ./tools/build/jam_src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam.exe

This gives:

unknown target type for
<@boost!libs!test!build>libboost_prg_exec_monitor.dll

Inserting 

echo "NT:" $(NT) ;
echo "UNIX:" $(UNIX) ;
echo "OS:" $(OS) ;

into the boost/libs/test/build Jamfile gives the following
result:

NT:
UNIX: true
OS: CYGWIN

Looking at the Jamfile for 1.33.1 Beta and CVS HEAD this has
been fixed by Rene, therefore I'm closing this bug.
