Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #12533: Difficulty building boost 1.62.0 using current mingw distribution https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12533 <p> This was really frustrating - am not experienced bat file user so don't know what the "proper" fixes would be. I fixed 3 specific issues. </p> <ol><li>bootstrap.bat never reached the section looking for MinGW gcc compiler. I moved that earlier in the script (just before checking for msvc compilers). </li><li>the path for the gcc compiler was hardwired - I had to modify the script to look in the right place and also properly adjust the value for the BOOST_JAM variable. </li><li>toolset=mingw is not supported by jam - had to set it to gcc instead </li><li>project-config.jam still had toolset=mingw, had to set it to gcc. </li></ol><p> After those changes (and loss of *many* chunks of hair!!) bootstrap and b2 seem to be working correctly. Will update this ticket or post a new if further problems arise. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12533 Trac 1.4.3
