Somehow, I do not get through.... ;) The problem is that the site states to use -sTOOLS=vc-8_0.
May be this setting is for older bjam build. Let's say I skip it and define in user-config.jam the
"using" directive and compile the source as you described, what is used as toolset name in the
filename, the "whatever" suffix? I need to produce the same file names as expected from linker.
Currently they differ.
