[Boost-build] How to run boost tests from the sandbox with msvc

I would like to test my type_traits extension with MSVC++ Express 2010.
I downloaded bjam 3.1.18 binary.
I set BOOST_BUILD_PATH to
D:\Softs\1.5\mgw-release\build\boost_1_43_0\tools\build\v2 (a location
where I built boost 1.43.0)
I added D:\Softs\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\VC\bin;D:\Softs\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE to PATH
I put the following user-config.jam in the test directory:
using msvc : 10.0 : :
       <compileflags>"\"-ID:\\Softs\\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\\VC\\include\""
       <compileflags>"\"-ID:\\sandbox\\type_traits\""
       <compileflags>"\"-ID:\\Softs\\1.5\\mgw-release\\boost\\include\""
       ;

Then I run a dos command prompt and run:
$ D:\Softs\boost-jam-3.1.18-1-ntx86\bjam.exe
--user-config=user-config.jam -j 2 -d 2 toolset=msvc-10.0 operators >
bjam.log

but I get the errors reported below.

What is the procedure to run boost tests from the sandbox with msvc?
In particular, how can I set a directory search path for libraries at link time?

Thanks,

Frédéric
