## Introduction

Boost.Build's mingw toolset supports the GNU GCC compiler as the MinGW configuration. This is hosted on Windows and targets standalone Windows objects.

## Configuration Variables

The mingw toolset responds to the following variables which can be set in the environment or configured on the jam command-line using `-sVARIABLE_NAME=`value. This toolset is an extension to the gcc toolset.

Variable Name | Semantics | Default | Notes
--- | --- | --- | ---
`MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY` | Path to installation of MinGW. | (none) | If not set tools must be available in the executable path.
`MINGW_BIN_DIRECTORY` | The directory where the tool executables are located. | `$(MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY)/bin/` |
`MINGW_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY` | The directory containing the headers specific to the tools. | `$(MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY)/include` |
`MINGW_STDLIB_DIRECTORY` | The directory containing the compiled tool libraries. | `$(MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY)/lib` |
