Boost 1.55 bootstrap.bat broken for TDM GCC (MingWx64)

Reported by: scott.boost@… Owned by:
Milestone: To Be Determined Component: Building Boost
Version: Boost 1.55.0 Severity: Regression
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Up until 1.55 TDM-GCC x64 (Windows 7 x64)has been able to build Boost by using (I've tested it from about 1.40.0 with no issues) the command: bootstrap.bat gcc

In 1.55.0 this no longer works. Output: 3 outputs in attached files + GCC information

Exactly the same results with using 'mingw' or 'MinGW' instead of 'gcc' as option

Update: Failure occurs when using the .tar.gz linux version of the file download. Works successfully when using the .zip windows version.

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

This is by design: .tar.gz has files with Unix line endings on which windows .bat choke. .zip has file with Windows line endings, so always use .zip on Windows.
