Still having trouble with Mingw and install.

I just did bjam -sTOOLS=MINGW --install
From what I read that is supposed to put the libraries in c:\boost\lib and include in c:\boost\include.. It didn't.
Now I think I did that the way the last reply said to so it should ahve worked any ideas? Kenx

OK.. I'll quote *exactly* the command: bjam -sTOOLS=mingw install Which is comparable to what is in the docs at: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step5 The differences from what you did: 1. You used "MINGW", it should be "mingw". 2. You used "--install", it should be "install". I just don't know how clearer I can be.

Ok sorry thanks for the clearification the way you layed it out that time I got. I should point out just so you don't think I am a rock head or anything. I am blind and I stupidly had my capitilazation and punctuation anouncment turned off when I recieved your last email. That is equivilant to your monitor not showing punctuationo r capitaliazation. With that in mind you will understand why I was being so dense. Thanks a lot for not blowing a fuse on me and now I can get back to work. KenOn Wed, 22 Dec 2004, Rene Rivera wrote:
