Boost: Error build Bootstrap.bat to generate bjam
I would like to use the Boost Filesystem library. I am using CodeBolcks for Windows development. I am following "Getting Started on Windows". http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#install-boost-build . I did the following:
1) I have downloaded and extracted boost for: d: \ boost_1_53_0
2) I have accomplished this:
D:\boost_1_53_0\tools\build\v2>bootstrap.bat gcc
Bootstrapping the build engine
Failed to bootstrap the build engine
Please consult bootstrap.log for furter diagnostics.
The log file contains:

As we can see, the compilation fails. I do not know why. How to install boost libraries successfully?
Note: "gcc -version" returns the gcc version
Thank.
EDIT: I was able to create the b2.exe file by doing
"gcc" -o bin.ntx86\b2.exe "-DNDEBUG" "-DOPT_HEADER_CACHE_EXT" "-DOPT_GRAPH_DEBUG_EXT" "-DOPT_SEMAPHORE" "-DOPT_AT_FILES" "-DOPT_DEBUG_PROFILE" "-DOPT_FIX_TARGET_VARIABLES_EXT" "-DOPT_IMPROVED_PATIENCE_EXT" "-DNT" "-DYYSTACKSIZE=5000" "-pedantic" "-fno-strict-aliasing" "-s" "-O3" "-Wno-long-long" "command.c" "compile.c" "constants.c" "debug.c" "function.c" "glob.c" "hash.c" "hcache.c" "headers.c" "hdrmacro.c" "jam.c" "jambase.c" "jamgram.c" "lists.c" "make.c" "make1.c" "mem.c" "object.c" "option.c" "output.c" "parse.c" "regexp.c" "rules.c" "scan.c" "search.c" "subst.c" "w32_getreg.c" "timestamp.c" "variable.c" "modules.c" "strings.c" "filesys.c" "builtins.c" "pwd.c" "class.c" "native.c" "md5.c" "modules/set.c" "modules/path.c" "modules/regex.c" "modules/property-set.c" "modules/sequence.c" "modules/order.c" "execnt.c" "filent.c" "pathunix.c"
I went to the next step in the tutorial. Now I am getting an argument error. What do you think?

To use the File System I used a different computer and followed the below steps and it worked:
1) Installed MinGW and added this enviroment variable => C:\MinGW\bin
2) Expanded boost_1_53_0 to c:\
3) cd c:\boost_1_53_0\tools\build\v2
4) bootstrap.bat gcc
5) b2 install --prefix="C:\Boostbuild" --toolset=gcc
6) Added this enviroment variable => C:\Boostbuild\bin
7) cd c:\boost_1_53_0
8) b2 --build-dir="C:\Boostbuild" toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage
9) Installed CodeBlocks without MinGW
CodeBlocks:
10) Settings->Global variables: current variable => boost, Base => C:\boost_1_53_0, include => C:\boost_1_53_0\stage\lib
11) Create a new C++ console project, and right click on it:
Build Options->Choose Project Name on the left -> search directories
On compiler tab, press Add and type: $(#boost)
On linker tab, press Add and type: $(#boost.lib)
12) Right click on the C++ console project:
Build Options->Choose Project Name on the left -> linker settings
Add the following link libraries:
..\..\boost_1_53_0\stage\lib\libboost_filesystem-mgw46-mt-1_53.a
..\..\boost_1_53_0\stage\lib\libboost_system-mgw46-mt-1_53.a
Thanks everyone
