Hello all,

I have problems with installing Boost. I downloaded boost_1_36_0.zip and extract it to c:\boost\. After that I downloaded boost-jam-3.1.16-1-ntx86(2).zip and extract bjam.exe to c:\boost\boost_1_36_0\.

Now I start cmd and goes to c:\boost\boost_1_36_0\! There I execut bjam with following parameters bjam.exe "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=C:\Dev-Cpp" "-sTOOLS=mingw" install

Please use the instructions from Boost Getting Started guide, as opposed to any third-party docs. In particular, the eventual command like should look line: bjam.exe toolset=mingw install and prior to that, you should add mingw's bin directory to PATH. - Volodya
