Wt

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to get Wt to build under cygwin 1.7.9 without success.

I have been following this guide:
http://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/projects/1/wiki/Installing_Wt_on_Cygwin_using_gcc

I am using cmake 2.8.7 (compiled from source), and boost 1.47.0. The build fails with this output:

I suspect that the boost that I built is missing something that Wt requires. I have also tried the same process with boost 1.48.0 built from source, as well as boost 1.48.0 available in cygwin, neither worked.

Has anyone built a recent version of Wt successfully under cygwin? I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks!
