ok but now I get the message (when I truy with gcc instead of g++ in the user-config.jam file):

I don't know French, and I'll have to guess that this means.

What is the main problem?

First, you should use forward slashes in paths: C:/mingw/bin/gcc or quote backslashes: C:\\mingw\\bin\\gcc Second, although not relevant here, per http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html#bbv2.refere... you should always specify the c++ compile commands, which is typically "g++", not "gcc". - Volodya
