Hi all,

 

after having switched from OSX and Linux to Windows 10 I have issues compiling boost (1.61)with the MinGW compiler. 

 

The very first step fails:

 

bootstrap.bat mingw

 

results in not finding a right path, denying access and aborting the installation. 

 

So far I only found this article:

 

https://andres.jaimes.net/698/use-c-with-mingw-and-netbeans-in-windows/

 

but it does not contain further info how (and where) to add additional info (I added c:\MinGW\bin to my PATH but it didn’t help).

 

Any help appreciated,

thanks in advance

 

Alex
