Hi,

I just downloaded the latest boost version and wanted to build the library for MS-Windows XP 32 bit using the mingw compiler set. 

According to [1], building should be done using bootstrap.bat to build the bootstrap.bat. If I start it, it just gives me this message, no matter what first argument I give (I tried gcc, gcc-nocygwin, mingw):

Building Boost.Jam build engine

Failed to build Boost.Jam build engine.
Please consult bjam.log for furter diagnostics.

You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from

   http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941

Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org 
Please attach bjam.log in that case.

Trying to build boost with the precompiled bjam (03.1.18) yields the following error:

########################################################################
C:/Programme/boost_1_45_0/tools/build/v2/build\configure.jam:145: in builds-raw

What should I do to build boost successfully? My g++ version is 4.4.1.
