[Discuss-gnuradio] Installing GNU Radio with MinGW and MSYS

[Zainab Qureshi]

While installing GNURadio on Windows i am having the following error.

checking for guile... /bin/guile

gr_boost_include_dir = 

checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp usability... no

checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp presence... no

checking for boost/shared_ptr.hpp... no

checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp usability... no

checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp presence... no

checking for boost/shared_ptr.hpp... no

configure: error: Failed to locate boost/shared_ptr.hpp.

Try using --with-boost-include-dir=<path>,

E.g., --with-boost-include-dir=/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1

g++ is installed:

$ g++ --version

g++.exe (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)

I tried setting the path with 

--with-boost-include-dir=/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1

but it says no such file or directory.

When i search the shared_ptr.hpp file, i can find it in two places .. one in boost folder and the second in boost/serialization.. setting the path to both these locations gives me an error.
