RE: [Boost-users] building boost under mingw: bjam invokes VC7??

I recently attempted to build and install boost 1.31.0 using msys (i.e., mingw). I enter the boost directory and start bjam with:

bjam -sTOOL=mingw install

...and then I see bjam invoking vc7 instead of gcc. <snip>

The variable is called TOOLS, not TOOL.
