6146,MinGW : Compiling / linking with Boost.Thread static library,Cyril Othenin-Girard <cog@…>,Anthony Williams,"I compile boost-1.48 with GCC 4.6.1 using MinGW-32 3.10 on Windows XP.
I confirm the last comment of '''WFrane''' in ticket #4614 :


> @gtoknu: This may be too late for you, but adding '''#define BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB''' before the include statements for the boost headers worked for me. I also recompiled the boost libraries after modifying config.hpp in the manner indicated by koradlow in comment 5, but I'm not certain that doing so is necessary.


I built BOOST libraries as static ones.

Nevertheless I have to explicitly add '''-DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB''' to my project makefile to avoid a lot of warnings like :
{{{
boost-1.48/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:59:40: warning: inline function 'void* boost::detail::allocate_raw_heap_memory(unsigned int)' declared as  dllimport: attribute ignored [-Wattributes]
boost-1.48/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:69:39: warning: inline function 'void boost::detail::free_raw_heap_memory(void*)' declared as  dllimport: attribute ignored [-Wattributes]
}}}
