I got the log now, thanks.

The relevant part seems to be this:

I think, this problem has been discussed on the list not long ago - `mt` 
being not found on the system after some MSVC update:

http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/build-msvc-14-linker-step-failing-tc4701719.html

Looks like MSVC needs to be reinstalled or installed on a separate 
machine. Will you be able to fix this?
