Thanks for your reply.
Have you tried backward slashes? (Just a thought.)
Yes, without any noticeable difference.
Just set it to the same as MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY. Here's what works for me, but I'm just using MinGW, not Dev-Cpp (but that's just an IDE around MinGW, right?).
I think so, but I can't provide any details; I'm not familiar with the intricacies of the various gcc-on-windows solutions. I would like to be able to say that boost worked wth dev-cpp, though; it's a one-click install, IDE-enabled gcc installation freely available for windows.
set MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=e:\bin\mingw bjam -sTOOLS=mingw --prefix=e:\bin\mingw -sSUFLIB=.a -sSUFDLL=.dll install
I tried this with MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY (and --prefix) set to c:\progra~1\dev-cpp", with no effective difference.

Well, I have managed to build now, so this is really a bug report rather than a plea for help. There were two problems: 1. Setting MINGW_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY does not translate to supplying -isystem include directives to gcc. To make things work I had to hard-code the following into the gcc-c++-acion command: '-isystem "c:/progra~1/dev-cpp/include" -isystem "c:/progra~1/dev-cpp/ include/mingw32"' 2. The name of the archiver is somehow derived from the path. bjam resolved it to "C:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp\bin\ar.exe", which is correct, but is then invoked without escaping, so windows failed to execute it correctly. Should I post this as a bug report somewhere, or will the appropriate people be following this list? Thanks for your help, Matt
