Compile means that the b2 command completed without errors Link means that visual studio was able to link a sample executable to a library (libboost_thread-vcXXX-mt[-gd]-1_XX.lib) generated Execute means that the linked program executed without errors.

Lots of errors with msvc-8.0:

compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\log\build\msvc-8.0\release\link-static\threadapi-win32\threading-multi\trivial.obj trivial.cpp .\boost/parameter/aux_/arg_list.hpp(227) : error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments .\boost/parameter/aux_/arg_list.hpp(390) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::parameter::aux::arg_list' being compiled

If there is an easy way to fix arg_list.hpp that would be nice, but if this is the time to stop build 8.0, that's fine too.

Also numerous errors for many (all dlls?) of the libraries with msvc-14.0. They all look something like this:

I'm on the fence if we should continue supporting 8.0, so if that doesn't get fixed then no big deal. However the issue with (the build tool?) for 14.0 seems like a showstopper for this RC.

Do we have any idea why MSVC 14 is failing?

This turned out to be something with the (Virtual) machine, I was able to run without issue on another machine. Sorry for that red-herring. Rebuilding binaries now. Tom
