The backslashes will be a problem, since '\' is the escape character. You need to use either '/' or '\\'.
OK, I fixed that.

This ought to be impossible. What do you get with --debug-configuration? In any event, it indicates that you reinitialized zlib in your Jamfile, after it was already initialized in user-config.jam.
I rerun again and you can see the output here: http://pastebin.com/BWgWdtRz I'm trying to build boost libs not the gil:io tests. So the only lib that would use zlib is boost::iostreams but I haven't configured it to use it.

Ok, I'll try this tonight at home. BTW, how would I pass compiler symbol to control the zlib compilation?
Would you mind telling me how to pass compiler symbols?
Use properties: e.g. /zlib//zlib/<variant>release
What I mean is to set compiler flags like: CFLAGS= -DMAX_WBITS=14 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=7 Those flags are zlib specific. Christian
