Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #10136: Boost 1.55 bootstrap.bat broken for TDM GCC (MingWx64) https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10136 <p> 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 </p> <p> In 1.55.0 this no longer works. Output: 3 outputs in attached files + GCC information </p> <p> Exactly the same results with using 'mingw' or 'MinGW' instead of 'gcc' as option </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10136 Trac 1.4.3 anonymous Thu, 03 Jul 2014 01:36:00 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10136#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10136#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> Update: Failure occurs when using the .tar.gz linux version of the file download.
