Building Boost on Windows

Question

I am trying to build boost libraries on Windows 7 x64 machine using mingw. When I try to run b2

b2 --build-dir=\"C:\\boost\\build\" --toolset=gcc --with-python
         


        

Answer 1

For those that only need 32bit, STL's Mingw Distro has Boost included with all the libs already built for it.
