Re: [Boost-users] Sanity check please?: Boost 1_55_0 and building VS2012 static libs?

True, but something of a diversion :) . B2 does not do the right thing when run in a shell configured for a specific version of VS, nor is this 'linkage' between 'versions' and official Visual Studio releases documented (say) here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html
