4839,boost_thread will not build with MinGW-w64 and bjam on Windows 7,fatman@…,Anthony Williams,"OS:[[BR]]
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

Compiler:[[BR]]
MinGW-w64
{{{
> g++ --version[[BR]]
g++ (GCC) 4.5.2 20101015 (prerelease)
}}}

Command line:
{{{
bjam.exe toolset=gcc stage --build-type=complete --with-thread >thread.log.txt
}}}

(I have used bootstrap.bat to build a native version of bjam.exe.)

Output: please see attached thread.log.txt.

To summarise, boost_thread seems to be the only binary Boost library which won't build in my MinGW-w64 build environment. Running without --with-thread results in 250-odd libboost*.a files in my stage/lib directory (as expected) but without boost_thread.

Please see also bug 4804. This is similar but not quite the same bug. His bug occurred while /linking against/ boost_thread; mine occurs while /building/ boost_thread.

Thanks for reading.
