I have hacked this by adding

set PATH=c:/mingw32-dw2/bin;%PATH%

to the command file that calls bjam.

This allows the toolset to find the programs ar.exe and ranlib.exe (which is the same as the
clang++.exe location).

But this can't be the 'right' way to do this can it?

<root>"C:/mingw32-dw2/bin" #  attempt to find the link tools  doesn't work as I expected.

Surely I should add their location/path info to the toolset?

using clang ...

????

Thanks
