Could you post the diff patches as attachments? It's almost impossible to deal with inline diffs to apply these. Even though I can't test any of this. I'm willing to apply the patches.
Thanks! Download this: http://nuwen.net/stuff/boost-bootstrap.patch
As I explained in my mail, the diff for boost_1_54_0/bootstrap.sh is a horrible hack and should not be applied. It fixes mingw but breaks everyone else. I would love to get a real fix for this, but someone would have to investigate.
The diffs for boost_1_54_0/tools/build/v2/engine/build.jam and boost_1_54_0/tools/build/v2/engine/build.sh should be applied - they fix mingw and should not affect anyone else.

And on the mingw topic, I might have missed something, but I think the major issue is still mingw vs. gcc naming inconsistency between bootstrap.sh and b2 proper - which is ugly, but not quite a showstopper?
That's what my boost_1_54_0/bootstrap.sh diff is hacking around. It's a showstopper in the sense that it completely breaks the build, and I haven't figured out how to evade it with command-line arguments.
Ok. Rene, Steven, how about we s/mingw/gcc throughout b2 engine source?
I agree in principle, but it's not quite that easy. mingw is treated slightly differently from gcc (windows sources, not unix). In Christ, Steven Watanabe
