Hi,

Ok, now I succeeded to add the "-DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX" with this command line :

b2 toolset=gcc --j4 --layout=system release --prefix=C:\librairies\boost-1.53.0 --user-config=user-config.jam cxxflags=- DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX install

But, there is still an error (different than the previous one) :

Anyone know what's happen now ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Could you please try to build Boost with that flag?  I think it would likely work around the problem.

I couldn't find anything about it online.  Using the #define that excludes mpicxx.h would likely fix the issue, though.

If that ends up being the problem, adding -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX to your compile flags might act as a workaround.  If you do hit the existing bug, you might want to post a comment on that bug saying that it breaks compiling Boost.MPI with MPICH 3.0.2.
