I install dev-cpp in the path c:\dev-cpp. It works better. Now I got the
messages:

...
FileClone C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\variant\detail\variant_io.hpp
FileClone
C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\variant\detail\visitation_impl.hpp
...failed updating 80 targets...
...skipped 24 targets...
...updated 3360 targets...

I am building with:
bjam -sTOOLS=mingw -sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=C:\Dev-Cpp install

Most of the libraries were built, but now I am trying to compile the
filesystem example "simple_ls.cpp" and I am getting undefined
references linking errors:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::initial_path()'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::native(std::string const&)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::path::path(char const*, bool (*)(std::string const&))'
...

What is wrong now?
