[Boost-users] Installing boost with bloodshed dev c++ and windows xp

I am trying to install boost -- I have a bloodshed dev c++ compiler 4.9.9.2 and windows xp.

I am trying to install boost and then quantlib but am stuck at the boost stage.

I find that the instructions at boost.org appear to assume more knowledge of dos commands and path environment variables than I possess.

I sometimes get the message that bjam is not recognized, and I sometimes get the message that the toolsets are not configured.

I do know how to add paths to the path environment variable but not much else.

I tried to follow Terrence August's online instructions (which are excellent) http://www.stanford.edu/~taugust/quantlib.html but this interfered with my dev cpp compiler. 

Thank you very much for your help.
