Oops, sorry, Ben and Heinquoi- that was a typo :P What I *meant* to say was: Starting bjam with: bjam -sTOOLS=mingw install causes bjam to invoke VC7 instead of gcc. Same thing if quotes are used (as described in the documentation: bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" install I ran it again, making sure that I actually used -sTOOLS and not -sTOOL, and I still see the described behavior. Again, this is using boost 1.31.0, msys and mingw on Windows 2000, and a prebuilt version of bjam recently downloaded from sourceforge. Anyone have any ideas how to make bjam (properly) invoke gcc? -Chris Brewer -----Original Message----- From: Ben Hutchings [mailto:ben.hutchings@businesswebsoftware.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 8:03 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: RE: [Boost-users] building boost under mingw: bjam invokes VC7??

The variable is called TOOLS, not TOOL.
