8934,b2 : failed to write output file,jeffrey.beu.uz8yz6yl@…,Vladimir Prus,"Hello,

Executing b2.exe within cmd.exe or powershell :

and

Building boost_1_54_0 with : 

b2 --debug-building --prefix=%USERPROFILE%\pkg\indie\boost address-model=64 --exec-prefix=%USERPROFILE%\programs\boost --libdir=%USERPROFILE%\pkg\lib --includedir=%USERPROFILE%\pkg\include --build-type=complete --build-dir=..\tmp pch=off debug-symbols=on debug-store=database install 2>&1 >> ..\boostbuild.txt

results in an error :

failed to write output file '..\tmp\boost\bin.v2\libs\program_options\build\msvc-11.0\release\address-model-64\debug-store-database\debug-symbols-on\link-static\pch-off\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\libboost_program_options-vc110-mt-s-1_54.lib.rsp'!

My initial thoughts path name is it approaching the MAX_PATH, so I tried redirecting echo to the name file within cmd.exe; it resulted in The system cannot find the path specified.

In powershell, echo redirection was successful but the build still failed at the same point.

The full path length is 246 :
python -c ""print(len(r'C:\Users\Arkhe_2\pkg\src\tmp\boost\bin.v2\libs\program_options\build\msvc-11.0\release\address-model-64\debug-store-database\debug-symbols-on\link-static\pch-off\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\libboost_program_options-vc110-mt-s-1_54.lib.rsp'))""

File system is NTFS located on a usb interconnected hard drive.

Thanks for the great work.
