Building Boost with MinGW64 without MASM

Question

I tried to build the Boost library for native 64bit using MinGW64 compiler, but got some failures. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks.

I got the bjam.exe (b2.exe)

According to Boost's requirements, you can find MASM64 in Microsoft's Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

I downloaded WDK 7 from Microsoft Download Center, and after installing it, I found ml64.exe in bin\x86\amd64. With that, I was able to successfully compile Boost 1.53.0.
