Hey all,

I'm trying to build my project using an old version of GCC available from  
MinGW (gcc-2.95.3-8-20020922-1 from  
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/).  What is the correct way to  
get boost-build to use it?  The executable name is g++2, so it doesn't  
recognize it by default.  There were lots of suggestions elsewhere, but  
none of them seem to work.  I've tried something along these lines:

        bjam --toolset=gcc -sTOOLS=mingw-2.0  
-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY="F:\Dependencies\mingw\gcc-2.95.3-8" release

It seems like something along these lines is correct, but nothing has  
worked so far.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!
