It seems to me, you read
http://www.boost.org\tools\build\v1\mingw-tools.html, that the path of mingw
is not defined at the absense of parameter. You could define it that: 
Bjam -sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=c:\your_path_to_mingw -sTOOLS=mingw install
Or if your path has a space in its name ( but i think is not possible for
the good work of mingw, i am not sure.)
Bjam "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=c:\your_path_to_mingw -sTOOLS=mingw" install
