Comment (by thekyria@…):

 Replying to [ticket:6143 Björn Pollex <bjoern.pollex@…>]:
 > 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:

 In boost_1_48_0 the following works ok with me (compiling with MSVC):
 {{{
 C:\boost\boost_1_48_0>b2 install --build-type=complete
 }}}

 If you want to compile using gcc, e.g. mingw as you mention, then you
 should include 'toolset=gcc' in your b2 command. The following works ok
 compiling thread lib:
 {{{
 C:\boost\boost_1_48_0>b2 --build-dir=C:\boost-build --with-thread --build-
 type=complete toolset=gcc
 }}}

 However, trying to compile everything still fails:
 {{{
 C:\boost\boost_1_48_0>b2 --build-dir=C:\boost-build --build-type=complete
 toolse
 t=gcc stage
 }}}

 See attachment for output; maybe I should start a new ticket for that.
