I'm trying to build Boost on windows 7, I'm using rubenv mingw+gcc-4.8 (from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.8-unstable/).

I tried the usual way: "bootstrap gcc" and ".\b2". But at the beginning of the building process a weird crash happens with a windows message dialog of "Keyboard History Utility has stopped working". It happens even with the suppressing option ('-d0'). In the process list I see that this Keyboard Utility is called "doskey.exe".

What is happening? Is it possible to build boost with gcc-4.8 on windows?

Thanks for your attention,

Alessandro Stamatto.
