Boost build instructions for windows/codeblocks, help sought

I got windows 7 x64, was dl'ing the windows 7 .net 4 sdk when I figured out how to build the bjam.exe file after failing to fulfill these instructions

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=BoostWindowsQuickRef#Set_up_a_Code::Blocks_global_variable_for_Boost

but when I run bjam, I still get a failure.

these are the steps I did

had to add f:\codeblocks\mingw\bin to path THEN open command prompt as administrator (not before path) then run from boost_1_51_0\tools\build\v2\engine\build.bat

then I could do

bjam --toolset=gcc "--prefix=<installpath>" install

but I get this message when I do

F:\libraries\boost_1_51_0>bjam --toolset=gcc "--prefix=f:\codeblocks" install --

almost looks like linux path's are getting scrambled into the mix

I figured it out.

I redownloaded the bjam that was in the instructions, dumped it to the f:\libraries\bjam folder I had initially setup.

set path=f:\libraries\bjam yadad;%PATH$ whatever command

cd to boost_1_51_0 dir

reran build command

to actually get something to build I had to add this to other linker options or , you have to add "$(#boost.lib)\libboost_system-mgw44.lib" into "Other linker options".
