Hey,

thx for your fast answer. I found the mingw's bin. But I don't understand "and prior to that, you should add mingw's bin directory to PATH". What is PATH? How can I add a directory to it?

Well, PATH is the environment variable that tells where to look for binaries. You can use either: set PATH=<some-dir>;%PATH% to add elements to it, or the System Setting, though I don't remember exactly what to click there. After you do that, verify that running "g++" works, then run bjam. - Volodya
