Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #6350: MINGW Build missing mingw.jam https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350 <p> If I try to build boost on Windows7 with mingw-shell: </p> <pre class="wiki"> ./bootstrap.sh --toolset=mingw </pre><p> then b2 and bjam will be build successfully, but the call </p> <pre class="wiki"> ./b2 </pre><p> fails with </p> <pre class="wiki">mingw.jam: No such file or directory d:/extswrc/boost/tools/build/v2/build\toolset.jam:38: in toolset.using rule mingw.init unknown in module toolset. Windows, these are static d:/extswrc/boost/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:888: in using project-config.jam:12: in modules.loadsing shared runtime.

So I would suggest to add a mingw.jam file to tools/build/v2/tools. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350 Trac 1.4.3 anonymous Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:22:05 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">mingw.jam</span> </li> </ul> <p> mingw jam file </p> Ticket anonymous Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:22:38 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">mingw.py</span> </li> </ul> <p> mingw jam python file </p> Ticket zaravalle@… Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:53:13 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6350#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> Had the same problem.
