Hello all,

I have problems with installing Boost. I downloaded boost_1_36_0.zip and extract it to c:\boost\.
After that I downloaded boost-jam-3.1.16-1-ntx86(2).zip and extract bjam.exe to c:\boost\boost_1_36_0\.

Now I start cmd and goes to c:\boost\boost_1_36_0\!
There I execut bjam with following parameters
bjam.exe "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=C:\Dev-Cpp" "-sTOOLS=mingw" install

This is my Console:
C:\BOOST\boost_1_36_0>bjam.exe "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=C:\Dev-Cpp" "-sTOOLS=min
w" install
