You're actually saying it doesn't work, you are bringing up linker issues, but I think there are more issues. But as I say, until you just download a Clang binary [the windows one: https://prereleases.llvm.org/win-snapshots/LLVM-8.0.0-r339319-win64.exe or https://releases.llvm.org/7.0.0/LLVM-7.0.0-win64.exe] and go on and try build Boost with Clang, we are all just looking at spaghetti on the wall.

I'm following this discussion with interest and I want to use Clang on windows with VS, or Clang Codeblocks using Mingw - which works but is less suitable for big tests, so most of all with b2/bjam so I can write using toolset=MSVC,GCC,Clang ... I'd also want to use the binary release like https://releases.llvm.org/7.0.0/LLVM-7.0.0-win64.exe, so I think any effort should be directed at that. We seem to be so near and yet so far. I sense that the jam files are the key. Paul
