title: Build boost with VS2012 RC
body: <p>I've just downloaded Visual Studio 2012 RC for Windows 8 64 bit. I've tried to compile boost libraries (version 1.51), but when I make, inside the Visual Studio prompt command, I've an error. I post the bootstrap.log at the end of the post. I'd like to know what's the correct procedure to build boost on VS2012RC on Windows 8 Release Candidate.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your replies.</p>
