Hiya, Compiling Boost with MinGW has produced .obj and .lib files in directories such as boost_1_29_0\libs\date_time\build\bin\libboost_date_time.lib\mingw\debug\run time-link-dynamic (when run on a Win2k PC). e.g. libboost_date_time.lib, gregorian_types.obj, etc. This happens for all Boost libs projects when compiling with "bjam -sTOOLS=mingw -sBUILD='debug release'.
Two things seem wrong with this picture: a) .lib is not dynamic but static b) .lib and .obj files would seem to be in Microsoft .COFF format, rather than the .a and .o GNU formats. Hence, I'm unable to link the bjam produced libs from a separate application of mine that uses simple Makefiles and MinGW/MSYS provided (Gnu) compilers (which produce .o and .a files, etc). I've tried to convert libraries like libboost_date_time.lib to libboost_date_time.a using the reimp MinGW tools but that fails ("out of memory"). Could someone please enlighten me on how to overcome these simple obstacles? I'm clearly missing something at the moment.
