I am unable to get boost installed I have followed this guide and still when I run the command to install boost it cannot find gcc any ideas

Code:

C:\deps\boost_1_55_0>bootstrap.bat mingw
Building Boost.Build engine
'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Failed to build Boost.Build engine.
Please consult bootstrap.log for furter diagnostics.

You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from

   http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941

Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org
Please attach bootstrap.log in that case.

C:\deps\boost_1_55_0>



Traverse to: $BOOSTDIR/tools/build/v2/engine/build.bat

and at like line 93 before :Guess_Toolset

put 3 spaces(new lines) in

then after that, type out cmd /c 'bootstrap.bat mingw'

There ya go.

This does not work,  have tried adding cmd /c 'bootstrap.bat mingw' in that file every way possible i.e before, after and even infront of :Guess_Toolset and it still spits out the same error.
