The 'cl' is the Microsoft compiler that Boost is unable to find.  If you type 
cl at that same command prompt, you should find that you get the same error.

Most compilers have a way of making themselves available.  With Microsoft you 
need to use a command prompt window that has being properly configured.  Try 
selecting ones of those available from the Windows Start menu under Microsoft 
Visual Studio 2013 -> Visual Studio Tools and try building Boost again.
