I did as you told me. My zlib entry for user-config.jam now looks like this:

#-------------------------------
# 3rd Party Libs
#-------------------------------
using zlib : 1.2.5 : <source>C:\chhenning\zlib\zlib-1.2.5 : ;

And the output now is:

Would you mind telling me how to pass compiler symbols?

Thanks,
