Cross building boost from Cygwin to arm-linux

I'm trying to build an app that uses boost libraries with Cygwin then later on deploy it on Linux box . I downloaded the latest version of boost, 1.46.1 then followed the instructions here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html.

I'm done with bootstrap and bjam process. When I checked on the stage/lib folder, there are .dll, .dll.a, .a files created. Is these the include libraries needed? I'am expecting to have .so files since it will run on linux but unfortunately .dll's are created.

BTW, I'm using Eclipse IDE with my project.

Here is my test project,

#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>

int main(void) 
{
return 0; 
}  

After compiling, i got linking error:

Invoking: GCC C++ Linker

Any help on how can fix this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

You are trying to cross build for linux-arm, you shall not follow the cygwin instruction. Do the cross building instead.
