Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] cpp-netlib on vista + MinGW

[Michael D. <mi...@mi...>]

For cygwin (I believe MinGW) as well, you need to add "-mthreads" to  
your CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS (compile and link commands) for the  
Boost.Thread library (Boost.ASIO uses it for certain things).  You  
might want to try that out too.

Take care,
