Hi,

I downloaded the modular Boost master from Git Hub, as per instructions and built it on Windows as follows:

.\Bootstrap

.\b2 headers

.\b2

This generated (amongst others) the following libs for boost::filesystem:

libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-gd-x32-1_67.lib

libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-gd-x64-1_67.lib

libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-x32-1_67.lib

libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-x64-1_67.lib

I then tried to build a static release X64 version of my application using VS2017 and got:

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-s-x64-1_67.lib'

Obviously, I don’t have this file, though I had thought that .\b2 was supposed to build all targets. So, I tried:

.\b2 link=static

This still does not generate the required file – where am I going wrong, please?

BTW, I have checked that my project’s library path points to the appropriate boost\stage\lib folder.

Best wishes.
