There is no package.  Build from the boost instructions.

Goto the Boost Download site linked from http://www.boost.org .

Download boost_1_38_0, get the latest bjam executable in the
nxt86.zip package.

Get the PDF documentation for Boost if you want them.  The link to
them is hiding in the lower left corner of the download page in the
'news' section.

Build with the TDM version of MingW (4.3.3 today).  Put bjam in your
path, put mingw\bin in your path.

Unpack boost to boost_1_38_0. cd boost_1_38_0 mkdir build then run:

bjam --build-dir=build --toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage

Come back in three to five hours later when it is done compiling
(which mine has now been doing for about ten minutes.  I do this with
each release, it really does take *hours* to build boost.  I needed
to update anyway).

I'll try building srecord after all the compiling is done.

They could be wrong on this but looking over on the minGW list someone said that "most" apps don't actually need a full build of boost, they just need the header files included.

All srecord configure does is check for existence of a header file to see if boost is there.

So if I just unpack the boost tarball and point gcc to headers at -I/c/boost_1_38_0 in the srecord makefile the latest srecord seems to build OK in msys and runs.
