Have you tried backward slashes? (Just a thought.) BTW, you might want to use
the --prefix switch to get the built libs and headers in the correct location.
Just set it to the same as MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY. Here's what works for me, but
I'm just using MinGW, not Dev-Cpp (but that's just an IDE around MinGW, right?).

set MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=e:\bin\mingw
bjam -sTOOLS=mingw --prefix=e:\bin\mingw -sSUFLIB=.a -sSUFDLL=.dll install

Kind regards,
