   Status:  new                                   |   Milestone:  To Be Determined       
Component:  Building Boost                        |     Version:  Boost Development Trunk
 Severity:  Problem                               |    Keywords:  bjam, vc10             
--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 When running the tools/build/v2/bootstrap.bat on Windows, the build fails.
 View the bootstrap.log file, and find the following errors.

     error C2016: C requires that a struct or union has at least one member

     error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'pid_t'

     error C2059: syntax error : '}'

 For more information, please see the attachment file.

 '''Root Cause of this issue'''

 Microsoft VC 10.0 does not have ''pid_t'' type by default. Suggest
 modifying the bjam.h. In the ''#ifdef NT'' segment, insert the following
 code.

    {{{#!C++
     typedef int pid_t;
    }}}

 '''Environment'''
 OS: Windows 7 SP1 x64
 Boost: bjam.h (Rev: !#76862)
