[Boost-users] compiling boost with mingw in winxp

Hi,

I downloaded boost 1.31.0 and I'm using bjam version
3.1.10.  I want to compile the code with Mingw by
doing the following:

bjam -s"TOOLS=mingw" and I get the following message:

C:\opt\boost_1_31_0>bjam -s"TOOLS=mingw" install
...found 8817 targets...
...updating 3260 targets...
MkDir1 C:\Boost
MkDir1 C:\Boost\lib

oost_date_time-mgw-d-1_31.dll
bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll
\mingw\debug\boost_date_time-mgw-d-1_31.lib
spawn: Invalid argument

I have no idea were to start looking to debug the
code.

If it may help, I downloaded the source code for bjam
and compiled it and get the following messages:

C:\opt\boost-jam-3.1.10>build mingw

The executables are generated, but I suspect the spawn
 warning has to do with the build error.

I'll appreciate your help,
Alex
