Hi there,

I am trying to install boost v.1.54 on windows 7(Version 6.1.7601). The
cygwin with mingw, gcc and g++ compilers are installed.

I need to use the 'stage' parameter for building the boost; however it
produces the following error:

C:\boost\tools\build\v2>b2 --prefix="C:\boost" toolset=gcc --build
type=complete gcc stage

notice: could not find main target stage

notice: assuming it is a name of file to create.

don't know how to make <e>stage

...found 1 target...

...can't find 1 target...

C:\boost\tools\build\v2>

I appreciate if you could point me to the right direction.

Many thanks,

Mohsen Mesgarpour
