[Boost-build] question about bjam on win32, dll not created

Hi there,

I am trying to build some code in Windows XP with VC++ 2005 express. The
same JamFile work fine in Fedora Core 3&4 with gcc. In my windows box setup
i can build successfully the latest cvs checkout including asio and
interprocess. Definitely something wrong with my Jamfile. The code compiles
fine and failed at link. When i built other libs, after "vc-Link" line,
there is a line saying "Creating lib ...", which doesn't happen for my code.
I attached the error msgs and part of my JamFile at end of the email. Could
some experts give me some hints? Anything special in win32?

Thanks
Yigong
