[Boost-users] Re: Building boost under mingw: bjam invokes VC7?? (part II: typo cor rected)

It seems to me, you read http://www.boost.org\tools\build\v1\mingw-tools.html, that the path of mingw is not defined at the absense of parameter. You could define it that: Bjam -sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=c:\your_path_to_mingw -sTOOLS=mingw install Or if your path has a space in its name ( but i think is not possible for the good work of mingw, i am not sure.) Bjam "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=c:\your_path_to_mingw -sTOOLS=mingw" install

That's all irrelevant to the problem, which I hope is solved by now. Forgetting to set MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY can never cause bjam to invoke vc7 instead of mingw. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
