Hi Mark

Have you read <http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html> ?

The following command line in the boost root directory works for me 
(unwrap if necessary):

bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=C:\ProgramFiles\MinGW3.2.0"

You can find the the source as well as prebuilt executables here (linked 
from getting_started.html):
