Steven, Thank you.  Asio now built with your help.  Maybe we should suggest documentation changes for Mingw install? For mingw do the following: Get to command line. Type path=%path%; (Then add your path to gcc typically C:/mingw/bin) go to your boost directory, ie cd\boost_1_49_0 type: Bootstrap gcc edit project-config.jam and change the line that says using msvc ; to using gcc ; then go back to command line and type b2 I'll send you a personal message too. ________________________________ From: Steven Watanabe <watanabesj_at_[hidden]> To: Boost.Build developer's and user's list <boost-build_at_[hidden]> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2012 10:37 PM Subject: Re: [Boost-build] 2 Problems with bootstrap.bat AMDG On 03/19/2012 06:33 PM, Jim Sager wrote: > 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, > Oh.  I see what the problem is.  open project-config.jam and change the line that says using msvc ; to using gcc ; Alternately, use b2 toolset=gcc > I guess it is safe to say Mingw is simply not supported anymore? > There is one known problem with the build in recent versions, but it shouldn't cause this error. > Looks like I need to get windows platform sdk?  As I was told by someone in a different email. > In Christ, Steven Watanabe _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-build
