Hi guys, I am extremely new at boost. I downloaded the latest version
and I did the following: I am using windows7 64 bit and GCC 5.1.

I opened command line, went to C:\boost\tools\build and ran the command:

    bootstrap gcc

The output is:

    Bootstrapping the build engine
    execcmd.c: In function 'onintr':
    execcmd.c:120:5: warning: implicit declaration of function

    cit-function-declaration]
         out_printf( "...interrupted\n" );
         ^

         return file_query( list_front( lol_get( frame->args, 0 ) ) ) ?
                ^

    Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

        .\b2 --prefix=DIR install

Then I ran:

    b2 --prefix=DIR toolset=gcc install

According to the long output 322 targets have been updated.

I put the path C:\boost\tools\build\DIR\bin to the environment variables.

Lastly, I ran:

    b2 --build-dir=C:\boost-filesystem toolset=gcc --with-filesystem stage

The output:

    ...found 8 targets...

So there are some warning while Bootstrapping the build engine, errors
and failed targets when building the filesystem library. Should I be
worried about them? What should I do?
