Building boost 1.61.0 with MinGW 5.3.0

Question

Has anyone had any success in building boost 1.61.0 for Mingw? I\'ve Googled for this, and all the suggestions that apparently worked well in the past result in errors now.

Answer 1

The answer from @antred worked pretty well. Only changes I needed to do to compile boost 1.67.0 is follows:

• Instead of step 5 and 6 run .\bootstrap.bat gcc
• At step 10 run b2 --build-dir="C:\Program Files\boost_1_67_0\build" --prefix="C:\Program Files\boost" toolset=gcc install
