Hello,

I tried to build boost iostreams with zlib support with the following 
command on Windows:

b2 -j 10 --build-dir=build\x64 --stagedir=stage\x64 --toolset=msvc 
-sZLIB_SOURCE=L:\vc14\zlib\zlib-1.2.8 runtime-link=shared link=static 
threading=multi address-model=64 debug release stage

But if I try to link my program using iostreams with zlib filter it 
complains about the missing file libboost_zlib-vc140-mt-x64-1_66.lib, 
and I see it was not built. I also tried editing the project-config.jam 
as described in the docs:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/doc/html/bbv2/reference.html#bbv2.reference.tools

Same result. I also tried to use a pre-built zlib binary. Same result. 
What should I do?

here is the output of b2:
