After help from various sources to get the VS2017 building working the latest master snapshot should at least try and build with VS2017. Assuming nothing horrible shows up today we will release the first beta tonight. Hence, please smoke test the latest master snapshot found at:

https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/master/

VS2017 is not yet working with master. When building the libraries it builds in the format "libboost_thread-vc1410-mt-1_64.lib", however the code in config/auto_link.hpp still has a vc150 in it, meaning any time you try to link a library you will get an error "libboost_thread-vc150-mt-1_ 64.lib not found".

I think that is easy enough to fix (and drastic enough) that we should hold the beta for it, but I defer to the release team.

Does master config have the changes for this? Does develop config? What are the changes?

After a pull on both, C:\boost\develop\libs\config\include\boost\config\auto_link.hpp lines 171-172: // vc14.1: # define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc141" but C:\boost\master\libs\config\include\boost\config\auto_link.hpp lines 171-172: // vc15: # define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc150" IIUC, develop is correct, while master is out-of-date. So it looks like at the least develop for config needs to be merged into master for config. HTH, --Beman
