[Boost-users] MinGW Build Issues

Why on earth I try and support Windows is beyond my comprehension.
It's just something I do.

I'm having some massive difficulties making Boost build with MinGW so
I can start using it from Code::Blocks.  I've tried using Boost's
native Jam system, but first I have to build that.  And that doesn't
work.

It keeps telling me this:

C:\USERS\LORDSA~1\DESKTOP\BOOSTJAM>build.bat mingw
###
### Using 'msvc' toolset.

C:\Users\LORDSA~1\DESKTOP\BOOSTJAM>rd /S /Q bootstrap

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\USERS\LORDSA~1\DESKTOP\BOOSTJAM>g++
G++: no input files

C:\USERS\LORDSA~1\DESKTOP\BOOSTJAM>

It keeps trying to use the MSVC toolset, even though I'm telling it not to.

Any help here would be nice!

I'm putting this all into an instruction set for potential programmers
on my project here:
