     Type:  Bugs                   |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  Boost 1.49.0           |   Component:  build        
  Version:  Boost 1.48.0           |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  mingw build bootstrap  |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 If I try to build boost on Windows7 with mingw-shell:

 {{{
   ./bootstrap.sh --toolset=mingw
 }}}

 then b2 and bjam will be build successfully, but the call

 {{{
   ./b2
 }}}

 fails with

 {{{
 mingw.jam: No such file or directory
 d:/extswrc/boost/tools/build/v2/build\toolset.jam:38: in toolset.using
 rule mingw.init unknown in module toolset. Windows, these are static
 d:/extswrc/boost/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:888: in using

 d:\extswrc\boost\boost-build.jam:17: in module scopeg
 }}}

 if I copy the gcc.jam to mingw.jam and rename gcc into mingw in mingw.jam
 then I can build boost with b2. So I would suggest to add a mingw.jam file
 to tools/build/v2/tools.
