I was passing the option debug-symbols=on during the release build. Removing that resolved the issue. But I still dont know why passing debug-symbols=off made the release build fail.

Subject: plain_report_formatter.cpp failed to write output file.....


I am trying to build boost-1.34.1 on windows 64 using VC 8. The debug part builds fine but while building release part it fails with the following error:

plain_report_formatter.cpp
failed to write output file '..\build-win64-vc80-release\boost\bin.v2\libs\test\build\msvc-8.0\release\address-model-64\asynch-exceptions-on\debug-store-database\debug-symbols-on\link-static\threading-multi\libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc80-mt-1_34_1.lib.rsp'!

Can some one please help me?
