I was following these instructions
https://studiofreya.com/2017/04/23/building-boost-1-64-with-visual-studio-2017/
for building boost on windows 10. It would suggest we can now build boost with 2017? A change since this question
@echo off
rem Directory to boost root
set boost_dir=C:\Program Files\boost_1_64_0
rem Number of cores to use when building boost
set cores=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%
rem What toolset to use when building boost.
rem Visual Studio 2012 -> set msvcver=msvc-11.0
rem Visual Studio 2013 -> set msvcver=msvc-12.0
rem Visual Studio 2015 -> set msvcver=msvc-14.0
rem Visual Studio 2017 -> set msvcver=msvc-14.1
set msvcver=msvc-14.1
rem Start building boost
echo Building %boost_dir% with %cores% cores using toolset %msvcver%.

Running from within Visual Studio 2017 command line.
Boostrap.bat seems to run fine.
The first time I ran b2.exe into, only a handful succeeded. I can see the same kinds of error again and again.

Can anyone experienced interpret all the no's here? It also gives a few parsing errors

Everything should be written to C:\Program Files\boost_1_64_0\stage\win32\lib, but I see no files.
