[Mingw-cross-env-list] mingw-cross-env-2.9: DEbian Squeeze AMD65: Failed to build package boost!

[Joost Kraaijeveld]

Hi,

Compiling Boost 1.40 with mingw-cross-env-2.9 fails because the compiler
seems not to recognise "-mthreads". Is this correct/to be expected or is
there a workaround/solution available ?

TIA


The error in the terminal is:

make boost
[build]    boost
