Cross compilation issue from linux to windows about boost-cmake

[Orphis]

Can you show the output of make VERBOSE=1? It should show us what command line was used to build the ASM files.

Here is the whole output.

For your information I changed the project path to /home/user/Myproject and the subdirectory inside to project, so boost-cmake path is : /home/user/MyProject/project/libs/boost-cmake.

[EDIT : I just realized the logs are in french. I you need I can change my system language to generate them in english]

It seems the command used is :

/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar qc libboost_context.a  CMakeFiles/Boost_context.dir/__/__/__/_deps/boost-src/libs/context/src/asm/jump_x86_64_ms_pe_gas.asm.obj CMakeFiles/Boost_context.dir/__/__/__/_deps/boost-src/libs/context/src/asm/make_x86_64_ms_pe_gas.asm.obj CMakeFiles/Boost_context.dir/__/__/__/_deps/boost-src/libs/context/src/asm/ontop_x86_64_ms_pe_gas.asm.obj CMakeFiles/Boost_context.dir/__/__/__/_deps/boost-src/libs/context/src/windows/stack_traits.cpp.obj

I checked, the asm folder is empty

So my guess is that asm files were never generated because of these lines :

Maybe because of the -c option ? (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2395158/linker-error-linker-input-file-unused-because-linking-not-done-undefined-ref)

However, other dependencies (thread, chrono) seems to build correctly with this option but they only build .cpp files and no .asm files.
I can provide a full build log of Boost_context if necessary (output of make clean && make Boost_context VERBOSE=1).
