#9051: jam build system refuses to work on windows, won't build on mingw-w64
-------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  jmichae3@…   |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new          |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  None         |    Version:  Boost 1.54.0
 Severity:  Showstopper  |   Keywords:
-------------------------+------------------------------
 - batch files don't run for mingw-w64, they are only for MSVC++.

 - no Makefiles

 - Jam build system refuses to run on windows, the file extension is
 unrecognized, and no exe is provided for it to run like was previously the
 case.

 - windows 7 64-bit and mingw-w64+MSYS (gcc) is my platform.

 - I would give you the URL for the compilers, but this bug tracking system
 rejects them as spam, and there are numerous there, you want personal
 rubenvb 4.8 stdthread experimental. the x86_64 on the far left is the
 target processor, and the win32 or win64 on the right is the host (what
 you are running)
