Hi there,
does anyone could say me how can I
compile Boost.Filesystem with MinGW:

Is something wrong with my b2-call see below,
or is my project-config.jam buggy?

=========================
import option ;

using gcc ;

using python
      : 2.7 # version
      : E:/Programme/Python27 # cmd-or-prefix
      : E:/Programme/Python27/include # includes
      : E:/Programme/Python27/libs # libraries
;

using mpi : :
     <find-static-library>mpi
     <library-path>"E:/Programme/MPICH2/lib"
     <include>"E:/Programme/MPICH2/include"
   :
     "\"E:\\Programme\\MPICH2\\bin\\mpiexec\""
;

option.set keep-going : false ;
==========================

I got as error message for Boost.Filesystem:

./boost/filesystem/v3/config.hpp:49:5: #error Configuration not 
supported: Boost.Filesystem V3 and later requires std::wstring support

That means Boost.Filesystem V2 should work?
Can I compile it without other boost things?

I run
set BUILDPATH=G:/Downloads/Libraries/boost_1_47_0/ownbuild
set INSTALLPATH=G:/Downloads/Libraries/boost_1_47_0/distrib
b2 --prefix=%INSTALLPATH%/libs/boost-1.47.0/distrib ^
    --toolset=gcc ^
    --build-dir=%BUILDPATH% ^
    --layout=versioned ^
    --variant=debug,release ^
    --runtime-link=static ^
    --link=shared,static ^
    --threading=multi ^
    --without-mpi ^
    --without-python stage >build.log 2>&1

And in build.log I found many errors after waiting some Minutes:

...failed updating 26 targets...
...skipped 30 targets...
...updated 842 targets...

If I doesn't use the options --without-mpi --without-python
than about 30 seconds later I got this output in build.log:

Please, can any one help me?
