Just downloading boost does not do the trick. You have to install it as 
it comes in source mode.

First steps in building process:
If you have mingw\bin and mingwdir in your system PATH variable, tehn 
you can go to
<boost_dir>\tools\build\jam_src there you run 'build.bat mingw'
(in msys, go to same location and type 'start build.bat mingw')
It builds binaries in <boost_dir>\tools\build\jam_src\bin.ntx86
Those binaries are for boost install procedure and are substitutes for 
usual GNU make
...

Basicaly, read the manual ;)
ATM I can't make an effort and study on this subject further. If someone 
knows better,
give a hand.
