[MinGW] [Windows] [build boost 1.57] Help required to build boost
I had submitted a GSoC application regarding developing a document library for boost and i wanted to do something regardless of the results of selection. . SO, i downloaded boost 1.57 source and tried to build it using MinGW compiler that i downloaded with CodeBlocks IDE which i use. When i ran : bootstrap.bat gcc I got error "Failed to build Boost.Build Engine". . The bootstrap.log file was : ### ### Using 'gcc' toolset. ### E:\Prog Stuff\boost_1_57_0\tools\build\src\engine>if exist bootstrap rd /S /Q bootstrap E:\Prog Stuff\boost_1_57_0\tools\build\src\engine>md bootstrap E:\Prog Stuff\boost_1_57_0\tools\build\src\engine>gcc -DNT -o bootstrap\jam0.exe command.c compile.c constants.c debug.c execcmd.c execnt.c filent.c frames.c function.c glob.c hash.c hdrmacro.c headers.c jam.c jambase.c jamgram.c lists.c make.c make1.c object.c option.c output.c parse.c pathnt.c pathsys.c regexp.c rules.c scan.c search.c subst.c timestamp.c variable.c modules.c strings.c filesys.c builtins.c md5.c class.c cwd.c w32_getreg.c native.c modules/set.c modules/path.c modules/regex.c modules/property-set.c modules/sequence.c modules/order.c E:\Prog Stuff\boost_1_57_0\tools\build\src\engine>.\bootstrap\jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc "--toolset-root= " clean ...found 1 target... ...updating 1 target... ...updated 1 target...

I am NOT any expert but as far as i can guess, it tried to execute "C:\Users\Abhinav" which ofcourse is NOT any valid command... . How can i build boost? Is there a way to use it without actually building the source? Please help! . Regards, Abhinav

md "bin.ntx86"

I would guess that the name of the internal batch file is not properly quoted. As a workaround try setting TEMP to a path that doesn't contain any spaces. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
Thanks Steven, changing TEMP worked perfectly!
