Building libraries for Dev++ ... usual steps don't work :(

Hi all,
I'm brand new to this, but I've just spent my morning trying to use bjam to build gcc libraries for boost.

I've carefully followed instructions from these two websites:
http://wagjo.com/index.php?id=27
and
http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~dfischer/manual/manual_topic38.html#topic41

But after running, bjam leaves my Boost\lib folder empty (That is, it creates the folder, but does not put anything in it.)

At the end of the bjam output:
...failed updating 1400 targets...
...skipped 574 targets...


If anyone knows what is happening, or if there are downloadable .libs for gcc (I'm using DevC++ 4.9.9.2, by the way) please let me know!

Thanks,
Tim
