    Boost building for MiniGW

    Hello,
    I downloaded boost_1_39_0.zip (Boost C++Library) and boost-jam-3.1.17-1-ntx86.zip from Boost site. Now I want to Build it for Code::blocks an minGW .I want o this site by googling [ Tutorial ] - Building Boost C++ lib for MINGW and coding in Code::Blocks - Graal Forums. The following Part I doesnt understand:-

    Then open a shell (cmd.exe) and change into the directory you have unpacked the Boost package to. Type the following command:
    C:\....\boost_1_35_0\>bjam --toolset=gcc --prefix=C:\Boost install
    * While building, it'll take 30 mins up to couple hours depends on your machine. So be patiant.

    I typed in CMD after unzipping the boost 1.39 to My docs
    C:\Documents and Settings\Abhishek\My Documents>cd boost_1_39_0
    C:\Documents and Settings\Abhishek\My Documents\boost_1_39_0>
    Then tried to do So
    C:\Documents and Settings\Abhishek\My Documents\boost_1_39_0>bjam --toolset=gcc --prefix=C:\Boost install
    But It showed eror what I should do.Please help

    After Writing the Above Pressed Enter and got this

    'bjam' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    C:\Documents and Settings\Abhishek\My Documents\boost_1_39_0>

    Friend Which would be better Boost C++Lib with Visual Studio 2005 C++ or Codebloacks MinGW to build for.

    I think i found the problem it is that I have to set the Windows Path enviromental Variables like in installing JDK for Java, I already have a Path variable that is for Java and also to something of intel it is like as follows:-
    My computer > Right click> System properties>Advanced>enviromental Variables>System variables>Variable Name-Path,Variable Value-C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin;C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX this C:\Program files\INtel\DMIX may be for Intel C++ Compiler 10.0.014 for visual Studio 2005 may be as i have installed it.now Can I add another Value under same Path like making it total look Like >>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin;C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX;C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\bin
    or not
    Please say

    Your path should be able to list several folders.
