Re: [Boost-users] bjam with mingw

Brewer, Christopher:

I had similar problems with bjam under MinGW. By experimentation, I discovered that I could make bjam work under MinGW by moving it from it's previous location at 'c:/msys/1.0/bin' to 'c:/msys/1.0/mingw/bin'.

FYI, you can find this thread starting at Boost-users Digest, Vol 250, Issue 1, and ending (successully :) at Boost-users Digest, Vol 253, Issue 1.

Maybe that didn't work because "Msys will convert POSIX paths that are used as arguments to Win32 paths. This is done for any executable not in /bin and /usr/bin." [MSYS readme] -- Daniel Schlyder http://bitblaze.com/
