Hi,

bjam --toolset mingw stage

The problem is in your boost-build.jam file, which probably says something like: boost-build C:/Documents and settings/src/boost/tools/build/v2 ; Those spaces make the path into three arguments. Try changing it to: boost-build "C:/Documents and settings/src/boost/tools/build/v2" ; HTH, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
