Compile boost under win xp with gcc

Question

I'm trying to compile the boost 1.49 using bjam.exe. I found the commandline:

bjam.exe toolset=gcc variant=release threading=multi link=static boost_thread

but it throws some errors:

warning: mismatched versions of Boost.Build engine and core
warning: Boost.Build engine (bjam.exe) is 03.1.18
warning: Boost.Build core (at ./tools/build/vs) is 2011.04-svn

./tools/build/v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:142: in boost-build from module
./boost-build.jam:17: in module scope from module

How can I make bjam know where gcc is (I installed it with MinGW and Codeblocks)? How can I have the right version ?

This site is not really the best place to ask, as it is Windows related question. The best way (for it will work for other apps) is just to add your MinGW to PATH variable.
