Re: configure cannot find boost libraries

I had the same problem.

It seems that boost library include files are not located in /usr/include/boost/, but in /usr/include/boost-1_33_1/boost, or something like that, depending of the cygwin version you use.

A workaround can be to make a copy of /usr/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/ directory into /usr/include/. This make the boost directory appear at the right place.

Not sure if it is the best solution, but its work for me.

If this is the problem Paulianna is having, then I would say two better solutions would be adding '-I/usr/include/boost-1_33_1' to CFLAGS or creating a symbolic link from '/usr/include/boost' to '/usr/include/boost-1_33_1'. But I agree that your solution would indeed work, though it would be less maintainable and would take up more disk space.
