bootstrap mingw

Building Boost.Build engine

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

    .\b2

To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:

    - Command line help:
    .\b2 --help

    - Getting started guide:
    http://boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html

    - Boost.Build documentation:
    http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html
================================

3. after apparently successful bootstrap, type
    b2 -a -d+2 -q --prefix=c:\users\amwink\usr\local --build-type=complete --build-dir=build toolset=gcc link=shared runtime-link=shared

The output is below. So the commands cl.exe and ml.exe, which are not in mingw but can be used from the masm32 package are found, but their output is not recognised (as I understand)

Is that correct? Would there be a way around this other than installing VC++?

Many thanks
Alle Meije
