I am trying to build boost library for visual studio 2017. I follow the following steps 1. Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 2. Go to the boost folder 3. use bootstrap.bat
Failed to build Boost.Build engine. Please consult bootstrap.log for further diagnostics.
The log says
d:\boost_1.68_zip\boost_1_68_0\tools\build\src\engine\jam.h(71): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ctype.h': No such file or directory
compile.c

I have search around on stack overflow and try to solve the problem, but none seems to work (I tried install different sdk, universal crt etc.)
I manage to have a work around by manually set the INCLUDE and LIB variable by the following
INCLUDE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\include;
LIB
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\lib\x86;
It could successfully get the b2.exe.
However, when I build the library using b2 --target=shared, static
Most library still files and it says fatal errors, cannot find some h file or lib file.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
