6143	Bootstraping on Windows using MinGW hangs	Björn Pollex <bjoern.pollex@…>		"I have Boost 1.47 and 1.48 downloaded. I execute the following command in the root of version 1.47:
{{{
bootstrap.bat mingw
}}}
And get this output:
{{{
Building Boost.Build engine

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

    .\b2

To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:

    - Command line help:
    .\b2 --help

    - Getting started guide:
    http://boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html

    - Boost.Build documentation:
    http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html
}}}
All is well. Running the same command in the root directory of 1.48 results in the script hanging. It does write output to {{{bootstrap.log}}}, the following lines repeated endlessly:
{{{
###
### ""Could not find a suitable toolset.""
###
### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.:
###     .\build.bat msvc
###
### Toolsets supported by this script are: borland, como, gcc, gcc-nocygwin,
###     intel-win32, metrowerks, mingw, msvc, vc7, vc8, vc9, vc10
###
}}}
A diff shows no differences between {{{bootstrap.bat}}} and {{{build.bat}}} of either version."	Bugs	closed	To Be Determined	Building Boost	Boost 1.48.0	Problem	invalid	mingw bootstrap build
