Compiling on CYGWIN shows this error when building assembly sources: /usr/bin/as: unrecognized option `-x' ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. CMakeLists.txt applies "-x assembler-with-cpp" but this option is expected to work only gcc or g++ drivers are called. Instead, during configuration, CMake prints this: -- Found assembler: /usr/bin/as But this is wrong, because -x option is not recognized by gas. This happens because CMakeLists.txt forces ASM-ATT which excludes gcc and it uses as instead. But it does it ONLY for CYGWIN and actually it is not possible to understand why it has been done. The solution of the problem is to let CMake using GCC instead of AS, by simply removing ASM-ATT and use ASM instead. After that, CMake prints this during the configuration: -- Found assembler: /usr/bin/cc and context is now built without problems after this patch.

did you run the unit-test? |

Actually not, I'm still not able to build all boost libraries because other errors. However, and only for CYGWIN, if you force to use |
