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.
