Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #1006: No mingw.jam https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1006 <p> Running <code>make</code> (using MinGW/MSYS) spews the following error/s. </p> <pre class="wiki">./tools/jam/src/bin.ntx86/bjam --user-config=user-config.jam mingw.jam: No such file or directory ./boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\toolset.jam:27: in toolset.using rule mingw.init unknown in module toolset. ./boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:825: in using user-config.jam:5: in modules.load ./boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:138: in load .\boost_1_34_0\tools\build\v2/kernel\modules.jam:261: in import .\boost_1_34_0\tools\build\v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build .\boost_1_34_0\boost-build.jam:9: in module scope Not all Boost libraries built properly. </pre><p> <code>./configure</code>, which I executed before <code>make</code>, ran without errors. If it helps, <code>user-config.jam</code> has the line "using mingw ; ". </p> <p> If this is not the way, then I suggest you include <em>brief</em> installation instructions in the root directory in future releases. I have no desire to be browsing through pages of useless text just to find out how your installation mechanism works :) </p> <p> Unsurprisingly <code>./configure &amp;&amp; make</code> seems to work if I change the "using mingw ; " line to "using gcc ; " in <code>user-config.jam</code>. Remains to be seen if the output is anything usable. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1006 Trac 1.4.3 René Rivera Fri, 27 Jul 2007 16:43:47 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1006#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1006#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">duplicate</span> </li> </ul> <p> Merging this into <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1087" title="#1087: Patches: Mismatch between BBv2 and bjam toolsets in configure script.
