#6143: Bootstraping on Windows using MinGW hangs
---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
Reporter: Björn Pollex <bjoern.pollex@â¦> | Owner:
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: Building Boost
Version: Boost 1.48.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: |
---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
I have Boost 1.47 and 1.48 downloaded. I execute the following command in
the root of version 1.47:
{{{
bootstrap.bat mingw
}}}
And get this output:
{{{
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
}}}
All is well. Running the same command in the root directory of 1.48
results in the script hanging. It does write output to
{{{bootstrap.log}}}, the following lines repeated endlessly:
{{{
###
### "Could not find a suitable toolset."
###
### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.:
### .\build.bat msvc
###
### Toolsets supported by this script are: borland, como, gcc, gcc-
nocygwin,
### intel-win32, metrowerks, mingw, msvc, vc7, vc8, vc9, vc10
###
}}}
A diff shows no differences between {{{bootstrap.bat}}} and
{{{build.bat}}} of either version.
