https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11316 <p> Hello, </p> <p> I am trying to build boost on Windows using mingw32 (as setup by Qt5). I was following the instructions as per <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#id37">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#id37</a> . I extracted the sources, went into /tools/build and ran </p> <pre class="wiki">bootstrap.bat Bootstrapping the build engine 'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Failed to bootstrap the build engine Please consult bootstrap.log for furter diagnostics. </pre><p> Further research online suggested I should have used </p> <pre class="wiki">bootstrap.bat mingw </pre><p> after which the bootstrap completes successfully. If this is the case, please could the documentation be changed to state this? </p> <p> Thanks </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11316 Trac 1.4.3
