heres what i do to build mingW since i am using dev-cpp compiler.
step 1: edit user-config.jam (this will tell where the compiler is).
gcc : : "C:/Dev-Cpp/bin/gcc"
step 2: erase the "install" ... its more like bjam "--toolset=gcc"
"--build-dir=C:\install-boost"
and thats it....

PS. I've tried the Jamfile.v2.diff that Vladimir Prus attached to a post entitled "Re: [1.34.0] building on cygwin fails out of the box".

wrote in message news:f2k8pk$ohp$1@sea.gmane.org... When I built boost 1.33.1 with GCC 3.4.5 on WinXP I got 274 files in the \boost\lib directory consisting of both DLLs and .lib files. When I built boost 1.34 (following the new getting started directions) I only got 154 files in \boost\lib none were DLL or LIB, they were all .a files.
Interestingly when the 1.34.0 build starts I get "Unable to construct ./install-unversioned" messages that I don't get in the 1.33.1 build: ...found 1 target...

Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature). warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned warning: Unable to construct ./install-unversioned
Thanks, Ken
