Hi!  My first e-mail to the list. :) I am Spanish. Sorry for my English, :/

Boost is a blessing. I have not words.

I like to build the library in Windows 7 (VC2010, MingW with gcc-4.5.2) and
Linux (Ubuntu 11.10 with gcc-4.6.1).
No problem with VC2010. No problem with Ubuntu 11.10 with gcc-4.6.1.
However i am unable with MinGW gcc-4.5.2.

My steps (works with boost-1.47.0 perfectly(?))):

1. Open mSYS

2. ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=mingw

3. Open project-config.bjam and modify...

# Compiler configuration. This definition will be used unless
# you already have defined some toolsets in your user-config.jam
# file.
- if ! mingw in [ feature.values <toolset> ]
- {
-     using mingw ;
- }

-  project : default-build <toolset>mingw ;
+ project : default-build <toolset>gcc ;

3. mkdir stage

4. bjam -a --build-dir="./stage/" --build-type=complete toolset=gcc stage

I get:

However, with flag "minimal"

4. bjam -a --build-dir="./stage/" --build-type=minimal toolset=gcc stage

works!

But...I need a full building. :(

Help!

Thank you in advance. :)
