Building for Visual Studio on Windows 8, I found a two problems:

In Visual Studio 8.0 SP1 (Visual Studio 2005), there is a problem with
iostreams/detail/path.hpp.  Here's a excerpt from the build log:
compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\iostreams\build\msvc-8.0\debug\link-static\runtime-link-static\file_descriptor.obj

This happens for all the different build types
(debug/release,static/dynamic,runtime static/dynamic) for both 32&64
bit builds.

The other error is that after the build, the copying of the
boost_exception dll fails. Here's an example from the output:
msvc.link.dll bin.v2\libs\exception\build\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\boost_exception-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.dll
msvc.manifest.dll

bin.v2\libs\exception\build\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\boost_exception-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.dll
        1 file(s) copied.
common.copy stage\lib\boost_exception-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib
The system cannot find the file specified.

    copy /b "bin.v2\libs\exception\build\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\boost_exception-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib"
+ this-file-does-not-exist-A698EE7806899E69
"stage\lib\boost_exception-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib"

...failed common.copy stage\lib\boost_exception-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib...

This happens for both the visual versions that get to this stage
(VC9.0&VC10.0) and I assume the same would happen to 8.0 if it hadn't
already errored out.

I've posted the full error logs on my site (created by running the
build a second time after it had already completed) if you're
interested.
