• b2 -j8 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 architecture=x86 link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared --with-thread --build-type=minimal stage 2>&1 | tee msvc_thread_build.txt (for dynamic thread library)
• b2 -j8 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 architecture=x86 link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared --build-type=complete stage 2>&1 | tee msvc_dynamic_build.txt (for all libraries as dynamic)

MinGW

Ensure that gcc/mingw is added to your system path. In a command prompt, navigate to the boost_1_xx_0 directory and run the following commands:

• bootstrap.bat mingw
• b2 toolset=gcc link=shared threading=multi --build-type=complete stage 2>&1 | tee mingw_build.txt
