#13004: Cannot build boost 1.64 with Visual Studio 2015 command prompt when Visual
Studio 2017 is installed
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mgr2000@…       |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new             |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost  |    Version:  Boost 1.64.0
 Severity:  Regression      |   Keywords:  corrupt header make install
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 I open a Visual Studio 2015 command prompt and try to build boost. But the
 libraries are no longer called *vc140*.lib, but *vc141*.lib. When building
 my application from my own environment.
 Calling \tools\build\src\engine\guess_toolset.bat manually sets the
 environment variables correctly:
 BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=vc14
 BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
 14.0\Common7\Tools\..\..\VC\
 Also when I add printing of the precompiler define BOOST_MSVC in some
 source file of boost, it prints 1900, not 1910 correctly on compilation.
 But calling build.bat prints:
 ###
 ### Using 'vc141' toolset.
 ###
 and afterwards the libraries are named vc141, while boost auto_link in my
 project still tries to find them as vc140.
