Having some trouble building boost

Description

Platform: Windows XP
C++ Compiler: MinGW (from Dev-C++)
Python Version: Python 2.4 (C:\Python24)

I've unzipped all the boost files to C:\boost, and put
bjam in the same directory.

my command line looks like:

C:\boost>bjam "-sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=C:\Dev-Cpp"
"-sTOOLS=mingw" install

...

MkDir1 C:\Boost\lib
spawn: No such file or directory


I've ckecked all the tutorials on the boost site, and I
can't seem to find anything on this.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a know problem in Windows and the length of the PATH. The problem manifests itself as problems finding executables, which is what the spawn error above shows. The workaround is to shorten the length of your PATH.
