Don't know if this will help, but this is the contents of the batch file I used for VS2010... and currently works successfully for VS2012.  There is also a precompile of Boost available via BoostPro and their freely provided tool.

Hi guys!

I am getting a build error during build configuration using Visual Studio 2010:

...found 25 targets...
...updating 3 targets...
compile-c-c++ C:\Users\glaure\SvnProject\SW_APP\3rdparty\test\boost\bin.
compile-c-c++ v2\libs\regex\build\msvc-10.0\debug\address-model-64\threa
compile-c-c++ ding-multi\has_icu_test.obj
has_icu_test.cpp
libs\regex\build\has_icu_test.cpp(12) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'unicode/uversion.h': No such file or directory

And more important:
compile-c-c++ C:\Users\glaure\SvnProject\SW_APP\3rdparty\test\boost\bin.
compile-c-c++ v2\libs\math\config\msvc-10.0\debug\address-model-64\threa
compile-c-c++ ding-multi\has_gcc_visibility.obj
has_gcc_visibility.cpp
libs\math\config\has_gcc_visibility.cpp(7) : fatal error C1189: #error
:  "This is a GCC specific test case".

The error is only reproduceable when i am using the --build-dir option of b2.

Example:
b2.exe -j8 install --build-dir=C:/boost_test --libdir=C:/boost_lib/release address-model=64 --prefix=C:/boost --without-python link=shared threading=multi variant=release

Of course boost builds successfully, but the problem is that Visual Studio thinks that the build failed.

These checks are not done if you build boost within the source tree.

Currently I am using boost 1.50

Bye Gunther
