[C++-sig] can't build boost.python under msys/windows

[Jorge Vargas]

hi

Could someone stop what I'm doing wrong?

$ echo $PATH
.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/c/Program
Files/Subversion/bin:/c/Python24:/c/Python24/Scripts

$ bjam "-sTOOLS=mgw" stage
$ bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" stage

both commands fail doing a lot of lookups for vc-7_1 and the .Net framework
(I have those install)
CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\bin\VCVARS32.BAT" >nul
...skipped
<@boost!libs!python!build\libboost_python.lib\vc-7_1\debug\threading-multi>libboost_python.CMD
for lack of
<@boost!libs!python!build\libboost_python.lib\vc-7_1\debug\threading-multi>
numeric.obj...

------

so I take them out of the path

$ echo $PATH
.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Python24:/c/Python24/Scripts

$ bjam "-sTOOLS=mgw" stage


and it fails to do anything
$ bjam "-sTOOLS=mgw" stage
...found 944 targets...
...updating 121 targets...
vc-C++
..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\python\build\boost_python.dll\vc-7_1\debug\threading-multi\numeric.obj
spawn: No such file or directory

so basically bjam is ignoring the TOOLS flag

I have to say I downloaded the binary for windows (
boost-jam-3.1.13-1-ntx86.zip)
and all boostJam related links seems to be broken
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/building.html
http://www.boost.org/tools/jam/index.html

what I'm actually trying to do is porting this
https://develop.participatoryculture.org/projects/democracy/wiki/WindowsBuildDocs
to compile with free tools so at the moment what I need is a replacement for
boost_python-vc71-mt-1_33.dll
that works with mingw does anyone distributes this as binary?

thanks for the help.
