Dear,

recently I started to use boost::log api. I work on win7 machine and use
mingw-x86-64 compiler ver. 4.5.4.

Now I got trunk version for boost and boost::log api and encountered
problems with compilation.

Problem is with:

To correct the error in the spirit of link ...( unfortunately I can't
find it now )
1. boost_trunk\tools\build\v2\tools\mc.jam:
line 41:

actions compile
{
#    mc $(MCFLAGS) -h "$(<[1]:DW)" -r "$(<[2]:DW)" "$(>:W)" #  ---
replace mc with windmc ---
    windmc $(MCFLAGS) -h "$(<[1]:DW)" -r "$(<[2]:DW)" "$(>:W)"
}

2. boost_trunk\tools\build\v2\tools\gcc.jam:
line 28: addin additional import
 
  import fortran ;
  import mc ;

After compile starts but got errors in compile time. All compile message
is attached in compile.log

I use trunk versions from date 18.01.2012 for both, boost and boost::log
api.

Best regards,
Sandro.
