Hello, Vladimir,

the test project produces the error is available here.
http://libunicomm.org/files/download/test_lib.zip

Just run build_all_configurations.cmd and you should get the error.

I also found out that error occurs if bjam is executed in
/test_lib/build/ subdirectory.

You also may run:

bjam install toolset=msvc variant=debug,debug-ssl,release,release-ssl 
link=static,shared threading=multi
runtime-link=shared

from /test_lib/build/.

If I execute bjam from /test_lib/ everything is fine.

But for 3.1.18 there is no matter what directory it's executed from.

ERROR (boost.build 3.1.19 from boost 1.45):
