suggests that I have the compiler in place OK and it should be in my PATH (becos I asked for it to be).

For a project, I have a jamfile starting

(I also have environment BOOST_ROOT = I:\modular-boost)
when I run b2 toolset=gcc
all compiles and run as expected.
when I run b2 toolset=clang
I get messages like

This suggests that it is not finding the system file <iostream> ...
but I'm puzzled at what is missing (and why).
Suggestions most welcome.
Reiterating what Peter says you need a mingw distribution at c:\mingw or you need c:\mingw to be a symbolic directory link to your Mingw distribution. Not only that but the distribution needs to be mingw and not mingw-64. I have mentioned this dependence on only mingw (as oposed to the better mingw-64 ) on the clang developers mailing list and someone has replied telling me that they intend to work on compatibility with mingw-64, but you know how that goes...
Sigh :-(
I have found that the latest mingw distribution works with clang.
:-) OK - I've installed c:/mingw and C:\MinGW\bin>mingw-get.exe install mingw32-gcc-g++ and I've got lots of .exe and .dll files at C:\MinGW\bin including a g++.exe and libstd++-6.dll c:/program files/mingw-builds/x64-4.8.1-win32-seh-rev5/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8 .1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: skipping incompatible c:/program files/mingw-builds/x6 4-4.8.1-win32-seh-rev5/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8.1/libstdc++.dll.a when searchin g for -lstdc++ And I've run Peter's suggested clang++ -v test.cpp with I:\modular-boost\libs\quickdox\example>clang++ -v test.cpp #include <iostream> std::cout <<"hello world" << std:;endl; and got the output clang_v_test.log Obviously I am still missing something, but I'm still puzzled at what.
