Code:

C:\deps\boost_1_55_0>bootstrap.bat mingw
Building Boost.Build engine

'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Code:

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>
Make sure mingw-builds is in path then check that your gcc -v output and the one specified at step 1.6 are the same.

i dont have it.are u mean this?http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/latest/download

I have no clue what you just said, can you repeat that in english

Hello Stygian,

I think he's saying that you can get a MinGW at the link given, FWIW.

Looking at your code output above, note the bold line! It is saying to me that when you ran your build program, whatever it may be, your Operating System, whatever it may be (Windows of some flavor, I presume), couldn't find gcc.exe. It is your task to determine why it (the OS) couldn't find gcc.exe. Hint: it looks first in the current directory, then in all the directories in the path environment variable. If it still can't find gcc.exe you will see the above message. The path is the path that exists when and where the build program is run. Perhaps not the path when the build program ends? Paths are dependent upon which user for example, is logged on, etc.

Ron, thanks for the reply, I followed this guide and I am not sure if it's all set up correctly as some of the guide is very unclear and very confusing but I have everything installed and im on windows 8.1 and gcc should be in all the paths so im a bit confused about it all as to why it won't find gcc.exe
