Title: Can't find gcc compiler
Post by: sulfurtank on December 13, 2016, 05:24:09 PM
Trying to bootstrap boost_1_5_3 thru the command prompt on Windows 10 x86-64 LTSB 2016. System doesn't see the gcc compiler though I added mingw directory to the system path, and additionally installed Active Perl 5.24.0.

Here are the environment variables for mingw:
Quote
C:\MinGW\bin

C:\MinGW\mingw32

C:\MinGW\mingw32\bin

C:\MinGW\msys\1.0

C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin

After typing in bootstrap.bat mingw I get a message saying gcc compiler is not found.

You probably did not set up MinGW correctly. In my environment the gcc is under C:\MinGW\mingw32\bin:
$ which gcc
/c/MinGW/mingw32/bin/gcc.exe
