Hello,

>Download Boost from http://www.boost.org/users/download/
I downloaded this: boost_1_49_0

I typed bootstrap gcc
Then I typed b2
I got several error messages:
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

I guess it is safe to say Mingw is simply not supported anymore?

Looks like I need to get windows platform sdk?  As I was told by someone in a different email.

,Jim

The boost version is not standalone.
It's intended to be copied over older
Boost distributions.  The current release
of Boost includes Boost.Asio.

Because this is Boost.Build, not Boost.
