12644,Windows store - vcvarsall.bat is invoked with wrong arguments,bjorn.aili@…,,"When building a store app (ie, {{{windows-api=store}}} in boost), the vcvarsall.bat script (part of Visual Studio) is supposed to be invoked, for example, as

{{{
<VSPath>\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86_arm store
}}}

Boost's build system, however, invokes it without the 'store' argument, resulting in a flawed compiler environment.

This typically doesn't make a difference when building for desktop, but when building store apps for phone (arm), it can result in missing dll:s when trying to run the app consuming boost. Specifically, various boost dll:s will try to link with kernel32.lib, which does not exist on phone.

The origin of the error appears to be in boost_1_62_0/tools/build/src/tools/msvc.jam in the invocation of the {{{maybe-rewrite-setup}}} rule. Here, the {{{setup-options}}} parameter should probably contain 'store', but the {{{<windows-api>}}} feature is never checked to add it.

The end result is that, during boost compilation, the library include paths end up wrong and the boost binaries will link with desktop libraries instead of store libraries (eg, VCRUNTIME140D.dll instead of VCRUNTIME140D_APP.dll).",Bugs,new,To Be Determined,Building Boost,Boost 1.62.0,Problem,,,
