[Boost-users] Building with Mingw under XP

I am not sure if this has been asked before I tryed searching the archives but there was no search function and a whole bunch of topics. My problem is I am using Mingw under windows xp Pro. I am trying to get the libraries to compile and install in c:\boost which from what I have read is the default directory. when I do bjam --install -sTOOLS=mingw It seems to compile the libraries of corse I think 88 of them fail but it doesn't move the libraries over. What am I doing wrong? Oh one more thing it complains that I don't have python installed at the beginning do I have to have that library because I don't use it in the source I am porting from Linux I just need the boost libraries to get the software ported.
