The library built all right (VC++2013), but there was a bunch of warnings when compiling Boost.Spirit (roughly 3000 lines in the log) and Boost.Python (roughly 200 lines); see below.

I didn't run the Tests.

Question here: Is there an automated way of running the tests with the RC-version, best resulting in a file that can be uploaded manually (I'm behind a Firewall)? If so, what are the requirements and how do you use that tool? (Sorry for the question; I didn't find the Docs on the Website very clarifying.)

Regards,
Alexander

Appendix:

Here are some specimen of the warnings:

* Boost.Python:

* Boost.Spirit:
