[Boost-users] Problem building boost 1.45.0

Hi, I just downloaded the latest boost version and wanted to build the library for MS-Windows XP 32 bit using the mingw compiler set. According to [1], building should be done using bootstrap.bat to build the bootstrap.bat. If I start it, it just gives me this message, no matter what first argument I give (I tried gcc, gcc-nocygwin, mingw): ######################################################################## Building Boost.Jam build engine Failed to build Boost.Jam build engine. Please consult bjam.log for furter diagnostics. You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941 Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org Please attach bjam.log in that case. ######################################################################## bjam.log: ######################################################################## ### ### "Could not find a suitable toolset." ### ### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.: ### .\build.bat msvc ### ### Toolsets supported by this script are: borland, como, gcc, gcc-nocygwin, ### intel-win32, metrowerks, mingw, msvc, vc7, vc8, vc9, vc10 ### ######################################################################## Trying to build boost with the precompiled bjam (03.1.18) yields the following error: ######################################################################## C:/Programme/boost_1_45_0/tools/build/v2/build\configure.jam:145: in builds-raw *** argument error * rule UPDATE_NOW ( targets * : log ? : ignore-minus-n ? ) * called with: ( has_icu.exe : : ignore-minus-n : ignore-minus-q ) * extra argument ignore-minus-q (builtin):see definition of rule 'UPDATE_NOW' being called [Entire error is here: http://boost.codepad.org/PbZYNTm5] ######################################################################## What should I do to build boost successfully?
