I had the same problem.

It seems that boost library include files are not located in 
/usr/include/boost/, but in /usr/include/boost-1_33_1/boost, or something like 
that, depending of the cygwin version you use.

A workaround can be to make a copy of /usr/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/ 
directory into /usr/include/.  This make the boost directory appear at the 
right place.

Not sure if it is the best solution, but its work for me.


Claude.
