Attempting to build Boost 1_73_0 on Windows 10 using MinGw-64. I have successfully built several earlier versions of boost, but not since 1_69_0. That version still works just fine for me, except that I have need (for completely different project) to update my version of MinGw-64 (from 7.2.1 either 7.3.x or 8.1.0, preferable the latter). I anticipate that this upgrade will require recompile of several other libraries, including Boost. Hence my attempt to upgrade to the most recent version. Below is a transcript (essentially complete) of my attempt to build boost. The significant error message (near bottom) is * don't know how to make <e>stage * Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong? Incidentally, I tried poking around the online documentation, but found that *A LOT* of the links are broken for 1_73_0 file hierarchy. I poked around the instructions for earlier versions, but haven't found anything to get me out of this mess.
