#10817: missing argument global-setup
----------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  calumlind@…     |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new             |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost  |    Version:  Boost 1.57.0
 Severity:  Problem         |   Keywords:
----------------------------+------------------------------
 I was attempting to build boost on Win 8.1  with just the MS VC++ Compiler
 for Python (microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266) so no
 Visual Studio installed.

 I encountered the error below when running `b2`. Modifying project-
 config.jam to have the line `using msvc : : : <setup> ;` allow the build
 to continue to completion.
