I am trying to install boost libraries
on my windows 10 computer.
These are the steps that I did:
- I have downloaded the
.zip
from the official site of boost - I have installed
gcc/g++
properly - I started following these tutorial on github
However, when I run on cmd the following command: bootstrap.bat gcc
or this command: bootstrap.bat mingw
, I get this message from cmd:

Failed to bootstrap the build engine
Please consult bootstrap.log for further diagnostics.
So I consulted bootstrap.log
and it says that:
