I am not sure if this has been asked before I tryed searching the archives 
but there was no search function and a whole bunch of topics.

My problem is I am using Mingw under windows xp Pro.  I am trying to get 
the libraries to compile and install in c:\boost which from what I have 
read is the default directory.  when I do 

bjam --install -sTOOLS=mingw

It seems to compile the libraries of corse I think 88 of them fail but it 
doesn't move the libraries over.  What am I doing wrong?

Oh one more thing it complains that I don't have python installed at the 
beginning do I have to have that library because I don't use it in the 
source I am porting from Linux I just need the boost libraries to get the 
software ported.
