 8. Check the build log for errors, you should have 12 failures due to missing unicode/uversion.h which you can safely ignore ( some internal check for optional stuff that should be warnings ). At the end of the build process, you should have the boost libs installed in `~/build/output/boost_1_51_0/lib` and headers in the boost subdir under `~/build/output/boost_1_51_0/include/boost-1_51`.
-'''Note:``` Header files in mingw are in nested one level deeper than in posix builds i.e. in posix the dir structure looks like `$BOOST_ROOT/include/boost` and in mingw it's `$BOOST_ROOT/include/boost-1_51/boost`. So, when using boost in multi-platform builds like I do, you need to adjust your include path accordingly.
